Rates of sustainable forest harvest depend on rotation length and weathering of soil minerals [PDF]
, 2014 Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully following intensified harvests, the nutrients removed from the ecosystem in the ...

Carbon stocks and their spatial distribution in drained and rewetted peatland forests in a low mountain range area, Germany [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2021 Drainage and rewetting of peatlands changes their carbon (C) dynamics. We measured C stocks in the soil and biomass of drained and rewetted peatland forests in the region of the National Park Hunsrück-Hochwald, Germany.

Deadwood biomass: an underestimated carbon stock in degraded tropical forests?
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 Despite a large increase in the area of selectively logged tropical forest worldwide, the carbon stored in deadwood across a tropical forest degradation gradient at the landscape scale remains poorly documented. Many carbon stock studies have either focused exclusively on live standing biomass or have been carried out in primary forests that are ...

Carbon stock in forest aboveground biomass – comparison based on Landsat data [PDF]
Central European Forestry Journal, 2017 Abstract The objective of this study was to verify a possibility of the assessment of carbon stock above all in forest aboveground biomass in the area of Czech Republic based on Landsat data and terrestrial mapping of land cover. Landsat 7 ETM+ data and method based on vegetation index ND45 were used.

Carbon and nutrient stocks of tea plantations differing in age, genotype and plant population density [PDF]
, 2008 Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is a perennial evergreen shrub managed intensively for continuous growth of young shoots. Most tea plantations were established at the expense of native forest. Change in carbon (C) and nutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium

A simple field based method for rapid wood density estimation for selected tree species in Western Kenya [PDF]
, 2020 Wood density is an important variable for accurate quantification of woody biomass and carbon stocks. Conventional destructive methods for wood density estimation are resource intensive, prohibiting their use, limiting the application of approaches that ...
