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.

A system‐wide assessment of forest biomass production, markets, and carbon

GCB Bioenergy, 2023
This study examines the effects of supplying forest biomass on forest ecosystem services and goods with a dynamic systems model. This unique analysis models dynamic trade and investments in forestry, thereby capturing price changes from increased forest ...

Aboveground biomass and carbon stocks in subtropical forests

Ecological Indicators
Quantifying plant biomass in native forests is essential to understanding ecosystem health, primary productivity, biodiversity, and the carbon cycle, contributing to climate regulation. Therefore, the objective of this study was to establish biomass estimators and quantify biomass and carbon stocks in subtropical forests in Brazil.

Geostatistical Estimation of Biomass Stock in Chilean Native Forests and Plantations [PDF]

, 2012
There are a variety of approaches to estimate above ground biomass (AGB), which can be classified according to the data source being used (Koch and Dees, 2008): field measurement, remotely sensed data or ancillary data used in GIS-based modeling.

The Vegan Villain Sets Out to The End of Summer: Functionalized Coatings as Biohybrid UV‐Sensors

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study introduces biohybrid coatings incorporating E. coli biomass expressing photoconvertible fluorescent proteins as UV‐A responsive elements. Upon irradiation at 400 nm, the coatings exhibit an irreversible fluorescence shift from green to red within 15 min. Notably, the photoconversion capability is retained after >1 year of storage.

Drivers of above‐ground understorey biomass and nutrient stocks in temperate deciduous forests [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2019
AbstractThe understorey in temperate forests can play an important functional role, depending on its biomass and functional characteristics. While it is known that local soil and stand characteristics largely determine the biomass of the understorey, less is known about the role of global change.

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

Carbon stocks and its variations with topography in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest in Brunei

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2015
Tropical forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and therefore, an accurate and precise estimation of tropical forest carbon (C) is needed. However, there are many uncertainties associated with C stock estimation in a tropical forest,

Accounting for biomass carbon stock change due to wildfire in temperate forest landscapes in Australia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Carbon stock change due to forest management and disturbance must be accounted for in UNFCCC national inventory reports and for signatories to the Kyoto Protocol. Impacts of disturbance on greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories are important for many countries
