Southern Forest Experiment Station Do Different Young Plantation-grown Species Require Different Biomass Models?

چکیده
--Sweetgum and water oak trees samp~ed from a plantation over 7 years were used to test whether primary tree component (bole wood, bole bark, limb wood, timb bark, and leaves) predictions could be summed to estima~e total bole. total limb. and total tree values. Estimattons by summing primary component predictions were not significantly different from predictions for the totals, but pr~diction variances were increased for sweetgum and reduced for water oak.

TThe forest plantation strategy is to do with the identification of the most appropriate zones and the areas that are most suitable for different species. However, the success of this strategy requires the precise determination of the species ecological demands and the evaluation of the land before the establishment of the plantation. The purpose of this study is to assess the ecological capabi...
متن کاملComparisons of carbon storages in Cunninghamia lanceolata and Michelia macclurei plantations during a 22-year period in southern China.
Tree species composition was important for carbon storage within the same climate range. To quantify the dynamics of ecosystem carbon allocation as affected by different tree species, we measured the above- and below-ground biomass accumulation in 22 years, as well as the tissue carbon concentrations of trees in Cunninghamia lanceolata plantation and Michelia macclurei plantation. Results indic...
متن کاملEffects of Eucalyptus Plantation on Termites in Dead Wood on the Forest Floor
Expansion of Eucalyptus plantation is considered to be one of the major human disturbances to tropical forests, where termites are superabundant and an important decomposer. Here we studied the biomass of dead wood and the abundance and species composition of termites in dead wood in Eucalyptus plantation forest (EF) in Thailand and compared the data with those of the neighboring dry evergreen ...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Uncertainties in Use of Forest- Derived Biomass Equations for Open-Grown Trees in Agricultural Land
Quantifying carbon in agroforestry trees requires biomass equations that capture the growth differences (e.g., tree specific gravity and architecture) created in the more open canopies of agroforestry plantings compared with those generally encountered in forests. Whereas forest-derived equations are available, equations for open-grown trees are not. Data from destructively sampled open-grown t...

Four different forest restoration modes (Acacia mangium plantation, mixed-native species plantation, conifer plantation and Eucalyptus plantation) were evaluated using Energy System Theory and the emergy synthesis method. In addition, the eco-exergies of the four forest restoration modes were calculated, and combined with emergy and empower density to explore the restoration and selforganizatio...
