Characteristics of canopy interception loss in Moso bamboo forests of Japan

Hydrological Processes, 2012
AbstractIn recent years, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests have rapidly expanded in Japan by replacing surrounding coniferous and/or broadleaved forests. To evaluate the change in water yield from forested areas because of this replacement, it is necessary to examine evapotranspiration for Moso bamboo forests.

Biochar application increased ecosystem carbon sequestration capacity in a Moso bamboo forest

Forest Ecology and Management, 2020
Abstract Biochar application has been considered as one of approaches to mitigate climate change, however, most of existing studies only focus on its effects on soil carbon pools, rather than the ecosystem level carbon sequestration capacity in forests. Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla var.

Fine Root Decomposition Dynamics in Moso Bamboo Forest of Southeast China

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
To provide an important basis for the biogeochemical cycle of bamboo forest ecosystem, particularly the cycling of carbon, we studied decomposition dynamics of fine root in moso bamboo forest. Our study area located in Miaoshanwu nature reserve, Fuyang, Zhejiang province.

Degradation reduces greenhouse gas emissions while weakening ecosystem carbon sequestration of Moso bamboo forests

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys heterocycla cv. Pubescens) is well known for its high capacity to sequester atmospheric carbon, which has a unique role to play in combating global warming. Many Moso bamboo forests are gradually degrading due to rising labor costs and falling prices for bamboo timber.

Stand-scale transpiration estimates in a Moso bamboo forest: II. Comparison with coniferous forests

Forest Ecology and Management, 2010
In western Japan, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests have been expanding by replacing surrounding vegetation such as coniferous plantation forests and natural broadleaved forests. It has been speculated that the replacement of surrounding vegetation by bamboo forests could alter the vegetation water cycle and available water resources.

Spatial variability of soil chemical properties of Moso bamboo forests of China

Journal of Forestry Research, 2020
This study investigates the spatial variability of soil organic matter (SOM), soil organic carbon (SOC) and pH in the upper 20-cm layer and 20–40 cm layer in Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens Pradelle) forests using a geostatistics model. Interpolation maps of SOM, SOC, and pH were developed using ordinary kriging (OK) and inverse distance weighted (

Object-based classification using SPOT-5 imagery for Moso bamboo forest mapping

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2014
This study proposed a multi-scale, object-based classification analysis of SPOT-5 imagery to map Moso bamboo forest. A three-level hierarchical network of image objects was developed through multi-scale segmentation. By combining spectral and textural properties, both the classification tree and nearest neighbour classifiers were used to classify the ...

Effects of abandonment management on soil C and N pools in Moso bamboo forests

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys Pubescens) forests exhibit a great potential to sequestrate carbon dioxide from atmosphere and to mitigate global climate change. However, they were increasingly under abandoned (i.e., no fertilization, the low intensity and frequency of felling and bamboo shoot digging) due to decreasing economic values of bamboo-related ...

OPTIMAL MOSO BAMBOO FOREST MANAGEMENT: A DYNAMIC MODEL

2019
Moso bamboo forest management involves making decisions about the timing and quantity of bamboo stem harvests and bamboo shoot harvests. In my Masters thesis, I solve for the optimal bamboo stem harvest and bamboo shoot harvest policy using a numerical dynamic model that nests an inner finite-horizon within-year daily dynamic programming problem within

Canopy conductance for a Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest in western Japan

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2012
In western Japan, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forests have been expanding by replacing surrounding forests (e.g., coniferous plantation forests), which raises concerns about possible changes in terrestrial water and carbon cycles. Canopy conductance (Gc) is a critical parameter for determining canopy transpiration and photosynthesis.
