Book excerpt: The loss of ecosystem services due to deforestation is of global concern. Financial mechanisms such as REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) have been proposed as ways to support the conservation of tropical forests. Crucial steps in the implementation of REDD+ are to estimate national-level carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and to collect data on local biomass and carbon stocks. In this research, above-ground biomass (AGB) values and associated carbon stocks in a lowland secondary forest are estimated and compared with those in an adjacent primary forest, both growing on limestone in Seram, the Moluccas, Indonesia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests grow and their biomass increases; they absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in plant tissue. Understanding the biomass of forest vegetation is essential for determining the storage of carbon in the dominant tree component and computing carbon cycling at a regional as well as global level. This book consisting of five chapters will give a comprehensive understanding of biomass production vis-à-vis carbon storage in relation to litter and nutrient dynamics of the forest by analyzing the mode and magnitude of biomass production and carbon storage as a function of various silvicultural factors.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon sequestration in tropical secondary forests growing in all climates must be quantified to understand their potential role in adaptation and mitigation strategies of global climate change. Total aboveground biomass (TAGB), soil carbon, and total ecosystem carbon (TEC) were measured in 54 secondary forests growing along a broad bioclimatic gradient of 6 life zones, from lowland Dry to Premontane Rain forests in Costa Rica. The potential of regenerating secondary forests to offset carbon losses due to climate change-mediated primary forest degradation into the year 2100 was also determined. TAGB ranged from 12 Mg·ha−1 (5 MgC ha−1) in a 9-yr. Dry forest to 298 Mg·ha−1 (143 MgC ha−1) in a 60-yr Wet forest. TAGB and carbon were correlated with forest age and the ratio of potential evapotranspiration to precipitation. Secondary forests were predicted to reach TAGB >_ 90% of that in primary forest in 35 to 126 yrs. Mean soil carbon to 1 m ranged from 127 to 278 Mg·ha−1 in the Dry and Premontane Rain life zones. There was no correlation of soil C pools with age. TEC was as high as 440 Mg·ha−1 in a 40-yr Premontane Rain forest. Maximum rates of TEC sequestration were highest (14 - 33 Mg·ha−1 yr−1) in life zones with intermediate levels of precipitation and lowest (7 and 12 Mg·ha−1 yr−1) in the Dry and Premontane Rain life zones. Secondary forests were predicted to attain ecosystem C levels similar to that of primary forests in 44 - 105 yrs. Based upon simulations of forest growth and the changing land area covered by differing life zones due to climate change, carbon losses from primary forests ranged from

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally, the term biomass is used for all materials originating from photosynthesis. However, biomass can equally apply to animals. Conservation and management of biomass is very important. There are various ways and methods for biomass evaluation. One of these methods is remote sensing. Remote sensing provides information about biomass, but also about biodiversity and environmental factors estimation over a wide area. The great potential of remote sensing has received considerable attention over the last few decades in many different areas in biological sciences including nutrient status assessment, weed abundance, deforestation, glacial features in Arctic and Antarctic regions, depth sounding of coastal and ocean depths, and density mapping. The salient features of the book include: Several aspects of biomass study and survey; Use of remote sensing for evaluation of biomass; Evaluation of carbon storage in ecosystems; Evaluation of primary productivity through case studies

Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2023 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, grade: 3.63 (B+), language: English, abstract: This review presents a systematic review on the Biomass Carbon Stock Estimation Options for Trees and Forests Resources within and around Mago National Park, Southern Region of Ethiopia. In order to review and gain information from existing research on types of forest, basal area, biomass/carbon stock, sequestration pool in different forest ecosystems of Mago National Park, a literature research was carried out during January 2022 to October 2022 using Web of Science, Google Scholar Citation, Research Gate, IPCC, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and REDD+ report, offline journals, book chapters, government scientific reports, Forest Survey data, Botanical Survey data, as well as reports published by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. The review is limited to in and around Mago National Park forest ecosystem in relation to above and below biomass and carbon stock estimations. Formulating allometric equations for all woody plants in Ethiopia is quite desirable for accurately quantifying the biomass and carbon stock of forests to achieve accurate national and international reporting of carbon dioxide emission inventories. Depending on this in Ethiopia several studies undertaken regarding allometric equation for biomass estimation, but it is not as forest resource of the country. Most of the study undertaken was depend on semi-destructive method, which is not accurate as destructive measurement. Forests play an essential role as source and sink in the global carbon cycle. Development and other human induced activities have led to degradation of forest land, and ultimately, it results in loss of biodiversity and increases concentration of CO2 in atmosphere. Therefore, there is urgent need to estimate regional and national le
