Rainfall interception in a moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest

Journal of Forest Research, 2009
In recent years, moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest areas in Japan have rapidly expanded, and bamboo is now invading nearby natural or plantation forests. To date, only one study has examined the rainfall interception of a moso bamboo forest.

Niches of Major Associated Species in Natural Mixed Moso Bamboo Forests

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
Niche characteristics of nineteen main associated tree populations in moso bamboo mixed forests in Luoboyan Natural Reserve were investigated. The results show that associated populations ofSarcandra glabra,Ilex purpureaandEurya japonica, with high important values have great capacity of adapting to environment and also have broader niche breadths ...

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.

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.

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

Strip clear-cutting transformations increase soil N2O emissions in abandoned Moso bamboo forests

Journal of Environmental Management
Forest transformation can markedly impact soil greenhouse gas emissions and soil environmental factors. Due to increasing labor costs and declining bamboo prices, the abandonment of Moso bamboo forests is sharply escalating in recent years, which weakens the carbon sequestration capacity and decreases the ecological function of forests.
