The quantification of biomass carbon pools is important for understanding carbon cycling in forest ecosystems. This study was designed to reveal the effects of stand age on biomass partitioning and carbon storage of Chinese fir plantation stands in Dabie Mountains of Anhui, East China. A total of six even-aged Chinese fir plantation stands along an age-sequence from 10 to 50 years were selected...

Abstract Background Studies on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem productivity have suggested that species richness functional diversity are main drivers of processes. Several patterns this been found, including positive, unimodal, negative, neutral trends, keeping issue controversial. In study, taxonomic as above-ground biomass (AGB) were compared, mechanisms influence product...

estimation and mapping of forest resources are preconditions for management, planning and research. in this study, we applied kriging interpolation of geostatistics for estimation and mapping of forest stock at-tributes in a natural, uneven-aged, unmanaged forest in the caspian region of northern iran. the site of the study has an area of 516 ha and an elevation that ranges from 1100 to 1450 m ...

Background: In this study 11 height and diameter prediction models were fitted evaluated for Himalayan Chir pine (Pinus roxburghii) in Jammu region of UT J K (India). The data collected from 50 permanent sample plots uneven aged stands Pinus roxburghii total 500 individual tree measurement used study. At initial stage all the resulted significant coefficients, besides various selection criteria...
