Stand States Drive Disparities in the Carbon Storage Within a Masson Pine Forest Ecosystem

Forests, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(3), P. 499 - 499

Published: March 12, 2025

Forest ecosystems are important for carbon storage but vary in their ability to do so. Here, we examined the relationship between stand state and ecosystem Pinus massoniana forests, pinpointed key indicators affecting storage, provided a basis management enhance storage. We selected nine representing structure (diameter at breast height (DBH) distribution, tree density), vitality (stand dominance, growth, health), diversity (species composition, species diversity, evenness) evaluate state. Multivariate statistical analyses, specifically Mantel test Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), were employed explore complex relationships states of P. forests found that (1) has strong influence on there is autocorrelation among states; (2) structural attributes have stronger association with than diversity. The primary associated DBH distribution (H), growth (B), density (K), (V), evenness (P); (3) (K) significantly affects vegetation layer, while (H) soil layer. None stand-state indicators, however, major litter Our results indicate can be managed improve forest quality forests.

Relationship Between Carbon Stock and Stand Cumulative Production at Harvesting Age of Pinus radiata Plantations: A Comparison Between Granitic and Metamorphic Soils

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(8), P. 3614 - 3614

Published: April 16, 2025

The relationship between stand cumulative production at harvesting age and carbon stock for different soil types in forest plantations is critical sustainable management climate change mitigation. This study evaluated stocks Pinus radiata D. Don on granitic metamorphic soils central Chile. We selected 10 established three 1000 m2 stands per plantation to quantify the of total biomass using allometric equations situ assessments floor mineral (up 1 m deep). A strong positive correlation was observed (r2 = 0.767), regardless type. Metamorphic demonstrated a high capacity, particularly deeper layers (40–100 cm), with contributing over 40% stock. Soil bulk density concentration were strongly correlated 0.74), emphasizing role physical properties storage deep horizons. These findings highlight subsoils as reservoirs. Predictive linear models developed from this offer useful simple approach estimating stocks, national neutrality goals management.

Study on Forest and Grassland Ecological Space Structure in Eyu Mining Area and Potential Alternatives for Enhancing Carbon Sequestration

Forests, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(8), P. 1587 - 1587

Published: Aug. 4, 2023

Optimizing the connectivity-carbon sequestration coupling coordination of forest and grassland ecological spaces (F&GES) is a crucial measure to enhance carbon effectively in mining areas. However, prevailing strategies for optimizing F&GES often overlook network. Therefore, this study aimed propose novel restoration plan improve existing networks. Taking typical area northwestern China (Eyu County) as an example, we extracted based on remote sensing indicators risk assessments. Subsequently, optimized network using degree (CSCCD) model from perspective coordination, proposed potential alternative optimization schemes, evaluated effects. The results showed that range Eyu County’s structure had been determined. Ecological source sites with better effects were primarily distributed central northeastern parts County. After optimization, added 26 patches, reached 641.57 km2. Furthermore, connectivity robustness, edge node robustness significantly improved, effect space was increased by 6.78%. contribution rate 97.66%, corridors 2.34%. CSCCD can areas, promote neutrality, save time while improving efficiency. This strategy also applicable ecosystem management other which has positive implications promoting civilization construction sustainable development.

Forest land redistribution and its relevance to biodiversity conservation and climate change issues in Indonesia

Forest Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20(2), P. 213 - 228

Published: April 2, 2024

Indonesia's 120.5-million-hectare forest area shrinks due to deforestation, mainly community cultivation. Forest Land Redistribution (FLR) via programs like Social Forestry, TORA, KHDPK, Food Estate, and infrastructure development attempts address this issue but conflicts with climate change biodiversity goals. This review analyses the urgency of FLR for non-forestry proposes balanced policy recommendations economic environmental preservation. Implementing in Indonesia is crucial national SF, FE, development, impacting conservation mitigation. It should follow three key principles: regional strategies sustainability, a mitigation hierarchy prevent damage, enhancing hotspots connect fragmented forests, fostering wildlife movement genetic diversity resilient ecosystems.

Beijing Forest Carbon Storage Potential Capacity

Észak-magyarországi Stratégiai Füzetek, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 21(2), P. 17 - 27

Published: July 4, 2024

Forests serve as a crucial carbon reservoir. Therefore, optimizing forest storage is pathway towards achieving neutrality. In this study, the Forest Simulation Optimization System (FSOS) was used to simulate in Beijing forests over 250 years (2018-2268). It found that under no management scenario, fluctuates with natural growth and death of trees, peaks more than 90 million tons. proves have strong capacity storage. harvest trees make them into furniture, total high maintains stable level 108 This almost 1.6 times higher scenario on average. addition, rate fastest middle-aged near-mature forest. order optimize sequestration benefits forests, forestry sector must pay attention age structure future. Based results recommendations were made integrate managements regional economic environmental planning.

Abstract To study the effect of thinning intensity on carbon sequestration by natural mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests in Xiaoxing’an Mountains, China, we established six 100 m × experimental plots Dongfanghong Forest that varied intensity: plot A (10%), B (15%), C (20%), D (25%), E (30%), F (35%), control sample area (0%). principal component analysis was performed using 50 different variables, including species diversity, soil fertility, litter characteristics, canopy structure parameters, seedling regeneration parameters. The effects were strongest (0.75), followed (0.63), (0.50), (0.48), (0.22), (0.11), (0.06). composite score highest, indicating at a 30%. These findings provide useful insights could aid management China. This information has implications for future studies these forests, methods used ecological assessments
