Carbon Stocking in the Natural Forests – The Case of Malaysia

Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2015
Forested land in the world is about 28% of the global land area, accounting for 80% of the terrestrial carbon stored as biomass and soil organic carbon. Human activities, namely fossil fuel combustion and deforestation resulted in anthropogenic emissions

Dynamics of aboveground vegetation biomass and carbon stocks along the altitudinal gradients and overstorey composition types in the temperate Himalayan region

Trees, Forests and People
Forests, covering approximately thirty percent of the Earth's total surface area, are the world's largest carbon sink and a crucial player in mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration.

Magnitude, spatial distribution and uncertainty of forest biomass stocks in Mexico

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2016
AbstractExisting forest biomass stock maps show discrepancies with in-situ observations in Mexico. Ground data from the National Forest and Soil Inventory of Mexico (INFyS) were used to calibrate a maximum entropy (MaxEnt) algorithm to generate forest biomass (AGB), its associated uncertainty, and forest probability maps. The input predictor layers for

Tree structure and diversity shape the biomass of primary temperate mountain forests

Forest Ecosystems
Primary forests are spatially diverse terrestrial ecosystems with unique characteristics, being naturally regenerative and heterogeneous, which supports the stability of their carbon storage through the accumulation of live and dead biomass.

The Use of Mixed Effects Models for Obtaining Low-Cost Ecosystem Carbon Stock Estimates in Mangroves of the Asia-Pacific.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mangroves provide extensive ecosystem services that support local livelihoods and international environmental goals, including coastal protection, biodiversity conservation and the sequestration of carbon (C). While voluntary C market projects seeking to

Forest carbon stock in Left-bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine according to intensive forest monitoring data

Наукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2020
The issues of carbon stock and dynamic in different carbon pools in forest stands of Left-bank Forest-steppe of Ukraine are considered. The aim of the study was to evaluate carbon stocks and their changes in main pools: trees biomass and mortmass.

Accounting for density reduction and structural loss in standing dead trees: Implications for forest biomass and carbon stock estimates in the United States

Carbon Balance and Management, 2011
Background Standing dead trees are one component of forest ecosystem dead wood carbon (C) pools, whose national stock is estimated by the U.S. as required by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Allometric models and aboveground biomass stocks of a West African Sudan Savannah watershed in Benin

Carbon Balance and Management, 2016
Background The estimation of forest biomass changes due to land-use change is of significant importance for estimates of the global carbon budget. The accuracy of biomass density maps depends on the availability of reliable allometric models used in ...

ESTOQUES DE CARBONO E NITROGÊNIO EM ARGISSOLO SUBMETIDO AO MONOCULTIVO DE Eucalyptus urograndis E EM ROTAÇÃO COM Acacia mangium

Ciência Florestal, 2014
The pursuit of sustainable systems of soil management has led researchers to develop new techniques of cultivation. Among them, studies with forest species able to fix atmospheric N2 and increase C and N stocks in labile and stable soil organic matter ...
