Effects of forest management on biomass stocks in Romanian beech forests [PDF]
Forest Ecosystems, 2019 Background Forest management aims at obtaining a sustainable production of wood to be harvested to generate products or energy. However, the quantitative influence of forest management and of removals by harvest on biomass stocks has rarely been analysed

Biomass stocks in California’s fire-prone forests: mismatch in ecology and policy
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Restoration of fire-prone forests can promote resiliency to disturbances, yet such activities may reduce biomass stocks to levels that conflict with climate mitigation goals.

Drivers of biomass stocks and productivity of tropical secondary forests [PDF]
EcologyAbstractYoung tropical secondary forests play an important role in the local and global carbon cycles because of their large area and rapid biomass accumulation rates. This study examines how environmental conditions and forest attributes shape biomass compartments and the productivity of young tropical secondary forests. We compared 36 young secondary

Re-evaluation of forest biomass carbon stocks and lessons from the world's most carbon-dense forests [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009 From analysis of published global site biomass data ( n = 136) from primary forests, we discovered ( i ) the world's highest known total biomass carbon density (living plus dead) of 1,867 tonnes carbon per ha (average value from 13 sites) occurs in ...

Quantifying Forest Biomass Carbon Stocks From Space [PDF]
Current Forestry Reports, 2017 This review presents cutting-edge methods and current and forthcoming satellite remote sensing technologies to map aboveground biomass (AGB). The monitoring of carbon stored in living AGB of forest is of key importance to understand the global carbon cycle and for the functioning of international economic mechanisms aiming to ...

Assessment of Biomass Energy Potential and Forest Carbon Stocks in Biscay (Spain) [PDF]
Forests, 2016 The aim of this research is to identify, quantify and characterize the potential available forest biomass of Pinus radiata D. Don and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. across Biscay province in northern Spain. In order to do this, we have used information from the National Inventories of Spain to quantify the amount of carbon dioxide accumulated in the ...

Mature forests hold maximum live biomass stocks
Forest Ecology and Management, 2021 The important role that forests play in the global carbon cycle has led to the implementation of management practices to enhance long-term carbon storage in forests. Obtaining information about how forest biomass varies at different successional stages is therefore essential.

Satellite data show increased biomass carbon stocks in northern young forests
Nature Geoscience, 2023 Accurate estimates of the land carbon sink are vital for informing climate projections and net-zero policies. Application of a strict filtering method to microwave satellite data enabled the evaluation of global vegetation biomass carbon dynamics for 2010–2019. The results highlight the role of demography in driving forest carbon gains and losses.

Forest biomass stocks and dynamics across the subtropical Andes [PDF]
Biotropica, 2020 AbstractForest biomass plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. Therefore, understanding the factors that control forest biomass stocks and dynamics is a key challenge in the context of global change. We analyzed data from 60 forest plots in the subtropical Andes (22–27.5° S and 300–2300 m asl) to describe patterns and identify drivers of ...

Growing stock-based assessment of the carbon stock in the Belgian forest biomass [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2005 Belgian forests covered 693 181 ha in 2000, representing 22.7% of the total land area. As no biomass or carbon stock data are included in the Flemish and Walloon regional forest inventories, species-specific wood densities, biomass expansion factors s.s. and carbon content values were critically selected from the literature.
