“…As many as 1,000 species of bamboo are found in Asia, covering an area of more than 180,000 km 2 . Most of the bamboo comprises natural stands of native species rather than growth on plantations or by human introduction [16]. In Japan, large volumes of bamboo have invaded forest stands and a number of them remain untouched.…”

Bamboo powder was analytically pyrolyzed using pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC), and the effects of fast pyrolysis conditions on the product distribution of bio-oil were evaluated. 4-Vinylphenol (4VP) was identified as a major product of bamboo fast pyrolysis by 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR spectrometry. The formation pathway of 4VP demonstrated that p-coumarate esters are present in bamboo lignin, and 4VP is likely to be derived from these p-coumarate structures. The evaluation of the effect of fast pyrolysis temperature on the product distribution of bio-oil revealed that increasing pyrolysis temperature resulted in high yields of compounds containing a furan structure and reduced yields of phenolic compounds, except catechol. The fast pyrolysis of Klason lignin produced 4VP in lower yield than that from bamboo powder, even though the yield of 4-vinylguaiacol from acid lignin was greater than that from bamboo powder. In comparison with fast pyrolysis, slow pyrolysis of bamboo produced simple phenols, such as phenol, guaiacol, methyl guaiacol, syringol, and methyl syringol, in higher yields, whereas the yield of 4VP was lower than that from fast pyrolysis. The chemical characteristics of bio-oil depend on the biomass source, pyrolysis conditions, and the type of pyrolyzer.

“…Bamboo is one of the most important sources of biomass because of its fast growth, wide distribution, relatively high content of hemicellulose (22% to 35% pentosans in dry bamboo), and sustainable availability, and as such, it has attracted more and more attention recently (Liese 1987;Scurlock et al 2000;Wen et al 2011;Peng and She 2014). At present, bamboo is used in reinforcing fibers, paper, textiles, and construction boards (Scurlock et al 2000), which generates a large amount of residue and results in a waste of resources.…”

Bamboo residue was treated with an active oxygen (O2) and solid alkali (MgO) (CAOSA) process, which was developed recently by the authors owing to its environmentally friendly and high-efficiency characteristics. During the cooking process, 93.0% of lignin and 62.1% of hemicellulose were removed from the raw material, which resulted in a cellulose-rich pulp. This indicated that this cooking process is efficient to fractionate the bamboo residue into cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin as a pretreatment for biomass conversion. The structural features of the hemicellulose from the pretreated bamboo residue were analyzed for comparison with that of the raw materials. The molecular structure of the hemicellulose fractions obtained from both the raw bamboo and pulp consisted of a (1→4)-β-D-Xylp backbone substituted with α-L-Araf and 4-O-methyl-α-D-glucuronic acid. The hemicellulose with more side chains tended to be more easily removed from the bamboo cell wall during the CAOSA process. Furthermore, the fractions of hemicellulose exhibited much lower thermal stabilities after the cooking process than the raw material.

“…At mean while, multiple ecologic functions had been provided by bamboo forests in cultivation arers (Kleinhenz and Midmore 2001). Due to its great potential for rapid biomass production (Pearson et al 1994;Scurlock et al 2000), bamboo is a vital net carbon sink under global climate change (Isagi et al 1997;Chen et al 2009;Zhuang et al 2011). Some researchers reported that bamboo forests, such as mao bamboo forest, have more efficient carbon sequestration than typical temperate forests, like Chinese fire and mason pine, in southern China (Zhou and Jiang 2004).…”

Bamboo forest ecosystem is the part of the forest ecosystem. The distribution area of bamboo forest is limited, but in somewhere, like south China, it has been cultivate for a long time with human management. As the climate change has been take great effect on forest carbon budget, many researchers pay attention to the carbon budget in bamboo forest. Moreover cultivative management had a significant impact on the bamboo forest carbon budget. In this study, we modified a terrestrial ecosystem model named Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS) according the management of Lei bamboo forest. Some management, like fertilization, shoots harvesting and organic mulching in winter, had been incorporated into model. Then we had compared model results with the observation data from a Lei bamboo flux tower. The simulated and observed results had achieved good consistency. Our simulated Lei bamboo forest yearly net ecosystem productivity (NEP) was 0.41 kgC a -1 of carbon, which is very close to the observation data 0.45 kgC a -1 of carbon. And the monthly simulated results can take the change of carbon budget in each month, similar to the data we got from flux tower. It reflects that the modified IBIS model can characterize the growth of bamboo forest and perform the simulation well. And then two groups of simulations were set to evaluate effects of cultivative managements on Lei bamboo forests carbon budget. And results showed that both fertilization and organic mulching had taken positive effects on Lei bamboo forests carbon sequestration.
