“…In this study, biomass C density in Eucalyptus plantations at five stand ages was between 6.8 and 75.5 Mg ha . Tree biomass constituted a major part of the biomass C pool and increased rapidly with plantation age in both the above-and belowground (root) fractions, similar to trends observed in other forests [6,10,11,39]. The highest rate of accumulation was observed in two-year-old stands, and the average carbon sequestration rate of stands between one and eight years old (8.8 Mg ha…”

Patterns of carbon (C) allocation across different stages of stand development in Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis plantations are not well understood. In this study, we examined biomass and mineral soil C content in five development stages (1, 2, 3, 4-5, and 6-8 years old) of a Eucalyptus stand in southern China. The tree biomass C pool increased with stand age and showed a high annual rate of accumulation. Stems accounted for the highest proportion of biomass C sequestered. The C pool in mineral soil increased initially after afforestation and then declined gradually, with C density decreasing with soil depth. The upper 50 cm of soil contained the majority (57%-68%) of sequestered C. The other biomass components (shrubs, herbaceous plants, litter, and fine roots) accounted for <5% of the total ecosystem C pool. Total C pools in the Eucalyptus plantation ecosystem were 112.9, 172.5, 203.8, 161.1, in the five developmental stages, respectively, with most of the C sequestered below ground. We conclude that Eucalyptus plantations have considerable biomass C sequestration potential during stand development. OPEN ACCESSForests 2015, 6 1764

“…The highest carbon contents in branches have also been reported in a study performed by Fu et al (2013) in individuals of Larix olgensis, and by Li et al (2011) and Tolunay (2009) in Pinus sylvestris individuals. However, Watzlawick et al (2004) concluded that populations of Pinus taeda at 21 and 23 years old had the highest production of carbon in the wood of stems, followed by live branches, roots, dead branches, and aciculas.…”

“…These results may be linked to several factors, as Li et al (2011) report that carbon concentrations of trees of the same species may be affected by age, origin, and edaphloclimatic conditions. Other authors, however, describe that trees with the same diameter may have different carbon contents, since they show variation in height and stem shape, and also by being located in several sites and strata in forests (SOARES; OLIVEIRA 2002).…”

“…However, in some locations where there are these allometric models, they are not always applicable for the same species in case it is settled in another environment (FELDPAUSCH et al, 2011). This is due to the fact that tree growth is affected by local characteristics (MAKUNGWA et al, 2013), what may result in expressive systematic errors in carbon estimation.…”

-This study aimed to quantify total carbon and its compartments: roots, stems, branches, and aciculas, in order to select an estimated equation of the total organic carbon for Pinus taeda L. settled from natural regeneration in the forest understory of a planted forest in the municipality of Três Barras, SC. Data have been collected from a random selection of 96 individuals with diameter at 0.3 meters above ground level, varying from 2.5 to 19cm. The selected individuals had their dimensional variables (dendrometric and morphometric variables) measured being subsequently felled and their compartments separated, weighed and samples were collected and taken to analysis of carbon contents. Eight traditional models were tested, six arithmetic and two logarithmic, as well as a model developed by the Stepwise process, being total organic carbon the dependent variable, and dimensional variables the independent variables. The total organic carbon found was 46.7% on average, and Tukey-Kramer test indicated significant differences of carbon contents amongst compartments.In comparison with traditional equations tested, the equation adjusted by Stepwise seemed more accurate, with good fit (R²aj. = 0.931) and precision (Syx% = 18.5).Keywords: Dry weight; Forest population; Carbon sequestration. TEORES DE CARBONO E MODELAGEM DO CARBONO ORGÂNICO TOTALPARA Pinus taeda L. PROVENIENTE DE REGENERAÇÃO NATURAL RESUMO -Os objetivos deste trabalho foram quantificar o carbono total e dos compartimentos: raízes, fustes, galhos e acículas, visando selecionar uma equação estimativa do carbono orgânico total para Pinus taeda L. que se estabeleceram a partir de regeneração natural no sub-bosque de uma floresta plantada, localizada no município de Três Barras, SC. Os dados são provenientes da seleção aleatória de 96 indivíduos com diâmetro à 0,3 metros do nível do solo, variando de 2,5 a 19 cm. Os indivíduos selecionados tiveram suas variáveis dimensionais (variáveis dendrométricas e morfométricas) medidas e, em seguida, foram abatidos e seus compartimentos separados, pesados e amostras retiradas e conduzidas para análise do teor de carbono. Foram testados 8 modelos tradicionais, sendo 6 aritméticos e 2 logarítmicos e também um modelo desenvolvido pelo processo Stepwise, tendo o carbono orgânico total como variável dependente e as variáveis dimensionais, como variáveis independentes. O teor de carbono total encontrado, em média, foi de 46,7% e o teste de Tukey e Cramer indicou diferenças significativas na quantidade de carbono entre os compartimentos. Em comparação com as equações tradicionais testadas, a equação ajustada por Stepwise mostrou-se mais acurada, com bom ajuste (R²aj. = 0,931) e precisão (Syx% = 18,5).Palavras-chave: Peso seco; Povoamento florestal; Sequestro de carbono.

“…Overall, ground vegetation biomass in this chronosequence was relatively low compared to other studies. For example, Li et al (2011) estimated forest ground vegetation biomass (shrub, herb) of 2.34 and 3.76 Mg C ha −1 in 19-and 35-year-old Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) stands, respectively. Furthermore, ground vegetation biomass was variable in this pine chronosequence.…”

Forest ecosystems play dominant roles in global carbon budget because of the large quantities stored in live biomass, detritus, and soil organic matter. Researchers in various countries have investigated regional and continental scale patterns of carbon (C) stocks in forest ecosystems; however, the relationship between stand age in different components (vegetation, forest floor detritus, and mineral soil) and C storage and sequestration remains poorly understood. In this paper, we assessed an age sequence of 18-, 20-, 25-, 38-, and 42-year-old Pinus tabulaeformis planted by analyzing the vertical distribution of different components biomass with similar site conditions on Mt. Taiyue, Shanxi, China. The results showed that biomass of P. tabulaeformis planted stands was ranged from 88.59 Mg ha −1 for the 25-year-old stand to 231.05 Mg ha −1 for the 42-year-old stand and the major biomass was in the stems. Biomass of the ground vegetation varied from 0.51 to 1.35 Mg C ha −1 between the five stands. The forest floor biomass increased with increasing stand age. The mean C concentration of total tree was 49.94%, which was higher than C concentrations of ground vegetation and forest floor. Different organs of trees C concentration were between 54.14% and 47.74%. C concentrations stored in the mineral soil for each stand experienced decline with increasing soil depth, but were ageindependent. Total C storage of five planted forests ranged from 122.15 to 229.85 Mg C ha, of which 51.44-68.38% of C storage was in the soil and 28.46-45.21% in vegetation. The study provided not only with an estimation biomass of P. tabulaeformis planted forest in Mt. Taiyue, Shanxi, China, but also with accurately estimating forest C storage at ecosystem scale.
