“…Based on the information gathered from the locals, anthropogenic disturbance associated with illegal logging on selected trees likely contributed to the lower above ground biomass in forest edge sites. Result of this study is in accordance with de Paula et al (2011) reporting lower above ground biomass carbon in forest edges at highly fragmented landscape in northeast Brazil and Saeed et al (2019) showing higher biomass carbon at forest interiors than forest edges along elevation gradients in Chinese Fir forest.…”

Abstract. Sulistyawati E, Tihurua EF. 2019. Analysis of the condition of forest interior and edge in Mount Papandayan, West Java, Indonesia based on floristic composition and structural characteristics of tree community. Biodiversitas 20: 900-906. Forest fragmentation creates forest edges that possess different biotic characteristic in comparison to its interior. Those differences may include difference in vegetation structure and composition, and ecological processes in the ecosystem. This study aims to compare the condition between forest interior and forest edge in Mount Papandayan and provide assessment of the overall condition of the forest based on its floristic and structural characteristics. We conducted vegetation analysis of tree in which six plots, each of 0.1 ha, were established in the forest interior and forest edge. Based on the results, species richness and diversity of tree were higher in the forest interior than the forest edge. Based on the importance value index, the proportion of co-dominant species in forest edge sites were higher than in the forest interior sites. In addition, tree density, regeneration potential, total basal area, wood density average, and biomass were higher in the forest interior than in the forest edge. Overall, Mount Papandayan suffers moderate disturbance, which follows through the intermediate disturbance hypothesis and this can be seen from its relatively high diversity index of tree yet it has moderate wood density average.

“…This showed that P and N availability was more responsive to stand management. Similarly, it has been reported in previous studies that stand age can increase the recovery of soil nutrient levels with forest development [12,20]. Moreover, studies on post afforestation conditions have shown both depletion of soil nutrients [66] and accumulation of soil organic N with increasing SOC [67] over time (e.g., tree age effect).…”

“…A 1 kg sample of evenly mixed subsamples was brought to the laboratory for oven drying at 72 • C for 48 h to determine the biomass and component carbon content of shrub and herb layers. Oven-dry to wet mass ratio was used to estimate the biomass [12,13,40].…”

“…In the past few decades, forest biomass quantification has received much attention [8,9] because forests sequester 44% of global carbon emissions [10]; thus, their significance in countering climate change cannot be overestimated [11]. Other factors such as dominant tree species and forest stand age determine the capacity of a forest to sequester atmospheric CO 2 [12]. This further highlights the importance of the accurate determination of carbon storage and CO 2 sequestration by each specific forest ecosystem.…”

“…These may be species specific, such as those described by Wang [19], or general volume equations, such as those described by Ahmad et al [4] and Saeed et al [10]. A biomass conversion factor (0.5) is often used to convert biomass into carbon stock, assuming that 50% of the biomass of trees consists of elemental carbon [6,12,20].…”

Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb) has been planted extensively in different parts of China for timber production and habitat restoration. The effects of stand age and management of these plantations on biomass, carbon storage, and soil physicochemical properties are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated biomass, carbon storage, and soil physicochemical properties of Masson pine plantations. The plantations were divided into four age groups (9, 18, 28, and 48 years), and into managed (MS) and unmanaged stands (UMS) in Hubei province, Central China. Tree biomass increased with stand age. A growth model indicated that maximum tree growth occurred when the plantations were 17 years old, and the average growth rate occurred when plantations were 23 years old. Tree biomass in managed stands was 9.75% greater than that in unmanaged ones. Total biomass carbon was estimated at 27.4, 86.0, 112.7, and 142.2 Mg ha−1, whereas soil organic carbon was 116.4, 135.0, 147.4, and 138.1 Mg ha−1 in 9-, 18-, 28-, and 48-year-old plantations, respectively. Total carbon content was 122.6 and 106.5 Mg ha−1, whereas soil organic carbon content was 104.9 and 115.4 Mg ha−1 in MS and UMS, respectively. Total carbon storage in the plantations studied averaged 143.7, 220.4, 260.1, and 280.3 Mg ha−1 in 9-,18-, 28-, and 48-year-old stands, and 227.3 and 222.4 Mg ha−1 in MS and UMS, respectively. The results of our study provide a sound basis for estimating ecosystem carbon as it relates to forest management activity and stand age.

Structure and function are the inherent characteristics of each ecosystem providing various services such as clean air, extreme weather mitigation, and human mental and physical well‐being. The objective of this study is to develop a unified model combining Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services (InVEST), ecological network (EN), and correlation analysis to investigate changes in ecosystem structure, function, and process. In this context, carbon sequestration, soil reduction, and flood risk mitigation were quantified from 2000 to 2020 and predicted for 2040 using the Markov chain and Cellular automata (CA‐Markov) model. Finally, correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship over time between the land use (LU) classes and the components of the forest EN of that provide and exchange desired ecosystem services (ES). Thus, the changes in land use in the region in recent years have been able to significantly reduce the ecosystem service in the region as well as changing the interaction between services. These changes, on the one hand, reduced the area of cores and increased isolated forest patches, and on the other hand, caused the horizontal expansion of cities and agricultural lands. If this trend continues, the decline in services provided by the ecosystem will persist into the future. Consequently, it can be said that structural changes in the ecosystem can lead to changes in the ecosystem services.
