Nation wide estimates of the changes in forest biomass are needed for the greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting under the Climate Convention. The bases for national GHG reporting concerning forest sector are the national forest inventory (NFI) programmes. Since these programmes were mostly established for monitoring of timber resources, one of the current challenges for the NFIs is the development of methodology, such as biomass expansion factors (BEFs). The methodology for carbon stock change estimation should be transparent and verifiable, but this demand is not currently met due to the fact that the source data and uncertainty in the applied BEFs are not known. Here we developed BEFs with uncertainty estimation applicable to stand wise inventory of Norway spruce forests in the Czech Republic. BEFs were constructed, based on tree wise data from permanent research plots, by applying biomass and volume models to tree-level data. These BEFs were age-dependent and their uncertainty was sensitive to the dependencies among errors. Most of the uncertainty in the BEFs was due to uncertainty in the biomass and volume models applied. 相似文献

Adequate allometric equations are needed for estimating carbon pools of fast growing tree species in relation to international reporting of CO2 emissions and for assessing their possible contribution to increasing forest biomass resources. We developed models for predicting biomass, stem basic density and expansion factors of stem to above-ground biomass for five fast growing conifers. Data included destructive measurements of 236 trees from 14 sites, covering a wide range of growth conditions. To ensure model efficiency, models for predicting stem, crown and total above-ground biomass for the five species were estimated simultaneously using a linear, mixed effects model that allowed contemporaneous correlations between the different tree components. Models differed among species and included dbh and tree height. The models explained more than 98% of the variation in above-ground biomass and reflected differences in the allometry between tree species. Stem density differed among species but generally declined with increasing site index and dbh. The overall model for predicting stem basic density included dbh, H100 and site index and explained 66% of the total variation. Expansion factors decreased from 1.8–2.0 in small trees (dbh < 10 cm) to 1.1–1.2 for large trees (dbh > 25 cm), but differed among species. The overall model explained 86% of the variation and included quadratic mean diameter and dbh. 相似文献

Estimates of above-ground biomass are required for better planning, sustainable management and monitoring of changes in carbon stocks in agroforestry systems. The objective of this study was to develop and compare biomass equations for Markhamia lutea, Casuarina equisetifolia, Maesopsis eminii and Grevillea robusta grown in a linear simultaneous agroforestry system in Uganda. These species were established in single rows in the middle of fields in 1995 from four-month old seedlings. A total of 57 trees were sampled for this study, 13 for M. lutea, 12 for C. equisetifolia, 16 for M. eminii and 16 for G. robusta. Biomass values of the various tree components (stem, branches and foliage) as well as the total above-ground biomass were fitted to linear and non-linear allometric models using total height, diameter-at-breast height (DBH), crown width as predictor variables. Although both DBH and height are typically used as independent variables for predicting above-ground biomass, the addition of height in biomass equations did not significantly improve model performance for M. eminii, M. lutea and G. robusta. However, addition of height significantly increased the proportion of variation explained in above-ground biomass for C. equisetifolia, while DBH did not significantly improve the prediction of biomass. The study confirmed the need for developing species-specific biomass equations. 相似文献

The paper presents a comprehensive review of the biomass equations for 65 North American tree species. All equations are of the form M = aDb, where M is the oven-dry weight of the biomass component of a tree (kg), D is diameter at breast height (DBH) (cm), and a and b are parameters. Equations for the following tree components were included in the review: total aboveground biomass, stem wood, stem bark, total stem (wood and bark), foliage, and branches (wood and bark). A total of 803 equations are presented with the range of DBH values of the sample, sample size, coefficient of determination R2, standard error of the estimate, fitting method used to estimate the parameters a and b, correction factor for a bias introduced by logarithmic transformation of the data, site index and geographic location of the sampled stand(s), and a reference to the paper in which the equation (or the data) was published. The review is a unique source of equations that can be used to estimate tree biomass and/or to study the variation of biomass components for a tree species. 相似文献

Naturally regenerated stands of bracatinga (Mimosa scabrella Bentham) are harvested for firewood after six to eight years of unregulated growth, debris burnt and the area planted to one cycle of intercropped maize (Zea mays L.) and beans (Phaseoulus vulgaris L.). Burning breaks dormancy of bracatinga seed (> 80% germination) marking the onset of a new fallow-crop cycle. This production system has been practiced for nearly 100 years in Southern Brazil, covering some 60,000 ha in 3,000 small farms. An estimation of above-ground biomass and nutrient accumulation was made using literature data on stand age, population numbers, tree sizes, tree biomass partitioning and concentration of major nutrients in tree tissues. A simple simulation model, used to quantify above-ground nutrient pathways and their temporal dynamics, confirmed that six to eight years is the optimal rotation length. Biomass and nutrients deposited onto the soil, peak at stand age six years, which may result in significant soil fertility improvement prior to crop planting. At year six, estimated total above-ground biomass amounts to 83 Mg ha–1; 44 Mg ha–1 available as firewood and 39 Mg ha–1 to be returned to the soil. Roughly half the amount of nutrients fixed in the above-ground bracatinga biomass would be exported in firewood and subsequent grain crops. 相似文献

Key message
Biomass functions are relevant for an easy and quick estimation of tree biomass. Nevertheless, additive biomass functions for different species and different components have not been published for the area of Germany, yet. Now, we present a set of additive biomass functions for estimating component and total mass for eight species and up to nine components.Context
Biomass functions are relevant for an easy and quick estimation of tree biomass, e.g. for carbon budget calculation. Component-specific functions offer even more detail and can be used to answer questions about, e.g., biomass allocation to different components, (nutrient) element stock and flows or the amount and re-distribution of harvested biomass and its consequences.Aims
Since there exists no published additive biomass functions in the context of Germany, we aimed at providing such equations for different species and different components using a comprehensive data set from different sources.Methods
We collected several data sets for eight relevant tree species (Norway spruce, n =?1150 trees; Silver fir, n =?31; Douglas fir, n =?161; Scots pine, n =?460; European beech, n =?918; Oak, n =?313; Sycamore, n =?28 and European ash, n =?37) in Germany and adjacent countries, homogenised the component information, imputed missing values and applied nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression to eight (for deciduous trees species) respectively nine (for conifereous species) components simultaneously.Results
The collected data set contains trees from 7 cm diameter in breast height to around 80 cm. From this broad data basis, we established two sets of additive biomass functions: a simple model using the predictors diameter in breast height and tree height as well as a more elaborate model using up to six predictors.Conclusion
Finally, we can present additive models for the eight relevant tree species in Germany. Models for Silver fir, European ash and Sycamore are rather limited in their model range due to their input data; the other models are based on a broad range of predictors and are considered to be broadly applicable.12.

The overall objective of this study was to combine national forest inventory data and remotely sensed data to produce pan-European maps on growing stock and above-ground woody biomass for the two species groups “broadleaves” and “conifers”. An automatic up-scaling approach making use of satellite remote sensing data and field measurement data was applied for EU-wide mapping of growing stock and above-ground biomass in forests. The approach is based on sampling and allows the direct combination of data with different measurement units such as forest inventory plot data and satellite remote sensing data. For the classification, data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) were used. Comprehensive field measurement data from national forest inventories for 98,979 locations from 16 countries were used for which tree species and growing stock estimates were available. The classification results were evaluated by comparison with regional estimates derived independently from the classification from national forest inventories. The validation at the regional level shows a high correlation between the classification results and the field based estimates with correlation coefficient r = 0.96 for coniferous, r = 0.94 for broadleaved and r = 0.97 for total growing stock per hectare. The mean absolute error of the estimations is 25 m3/ha for coniferous, 20 m3/ha for broadleaved and 25 m3/ha for total growing stock per hectare. Biomass conversion and expansion factors were applied to convert the growing stock classification results to carbon stock in above-ground biomass. As results of the classification, coniferous and broadleaved growing stock as well as carbon stock of the above-ground biomass is mapped on a wall-to-wall basis with a spatial resolution of 500 m × 500 m per grid cell. The mapped area is 5 million km2, of which 2 million km2 are forests, and covers the whole European Union, the EFTA countries, the Balkans, Belarus, the Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. 相似文献

Above-ground tree biomass in Zambian miombo woodland was determined by the harvest method. After clear-cutting and measuring 271 tress in 5 sample plots, each 400 m2, multiple regression analyses gave a set of equations relating above-ground fresh biomass, as the dependent variable, to tree diameter and height as the independant variables. Equations were calculated for 6 dominant miombo species separately, and for undisturbed miombo generally. With knowledge of tree diameter and height, these equations will enable above-ground biomass of single trees to be predicted fairly accurately. This is obviously of importance for the monitoring of forest resources in the African miombo, but has also relevance for agroforestry and the study of the shifting cultivators in the area. 相似文献

Allometric models are necessary for estimating biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. Generalized allometric relationship exists
for many tropical trees, but species- and region-specific models are often lacking. We developed species-specific allometric
models to predict aboveground biomass for 11 native tree species of the Sudanian savanna-woodlands. Diameters at the base
and at breast height, with species means ranging respectively from 11 to 28 cm and 9 to 19 cm, and the height of the trees
were used as predictor variables. Sampled trees spanned a wide range of sizes including the largest sizes these species can
reach. As a response variable, the biomass of the trees was obtained through destructive sampling of 4 754 trees during wood
harvesting. We used a stepwise multiple regression analysis with backward elimination procedure to develop models separately
predicting, total biomass of the trees, stem biomass, and biomass of branches and twigs. All species-specific regression models
relating biomass with measured tree dimensions were highly significant (p < 0.001). The biomass of branches and twigs was less predictable compared to stem biomass and total biomass, although their
models required fewer predictors and predictor interactions. The best-fit equations for total above-ground biomass and stem
biomass had R
2 > 0.70, except for the Acacia species; for branches including twig biomass, R2-values varied from 0.749 for Anogeissus leiocarpa to 0.183 for Acacia macrostachya. The use of these equations in estimating available biomass will avoid destructive sampling, and aid in planning for sustainable
use of these species. 相似文献

Although allometric equations can be used to accurately estimate biomass and/or carbon stock in forest ecosystems, few have
been developed for logged-over tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia. We developed allometric relationships between tree
size variables (stem diameter at breast height (dbh) and tree height) and leaf, branch, stem and total above-ground biomass
in two logged-over tropical rainforests with different soil conditions in Sarawak, Malaysia. The study sites were originally
classified as mainly lowland dipterocarp forest and have been selectively logged in the past 20 years. In total, 30 individuals
from 27 species were harvested to measure above-ground parts. The correlation coefficients for the allometric relationships
obtained for total above-ground biomass as a function of dbh had high values (0.99), although the relationships for leaf biomass
had a relatively low coefficient (0.83). We also found relatively high coefficients for allometric relationships between tree
height and plant-part biomass, ranging from 0.82 to 0.97. Moreover, there were no differences for allometric equations of
total above-ground biomass between study sites. A comparison of equations of above-ground biomass in various previously reported
tropical rainforests and pan-tropic general equations imply that our allometric equations differ largely from the equations
for tropical primary forests, early successional secondary forest, and even for the general models. Therefore, choosing the
biomass estimation models for above-ground biomass in the logged-over forests of Southeast Asia requires careful consideration
of their suitability. 相似文献

Climate change has increased the need of information on amount of forest biomass. The biomass and carbon storage for larch (Larix spp.) in large geographic regions in China were failed to be accurately estimated from current biomass equations, because they were usually based on a few sample trees on local sites, generally incompatible to volume estimation, and not additive between components and total biomass. China needs reliable biomass estimation of the important species in the whole country. This study was based on the mensuration data of above- and belowground biomass from 600 and 198 destructive sample trees of larch from four regions in China, respectively. The main purpose was to develop compatible individual tree equations on both national and regional levels for above- and belowground biomass, biomass conversion factor and root-to-shoot ratio, using the nonlinear error-in-variable simultaneous equation approach. In addition, diameter at breast height (D) and tree height (H) growth models were also developed, and effects of key climate variables on biomass variation and growth process were analyzed. The results showed that mean prediction errors (MPEs) of regional aboveground biomass models were from 3.86 to 7.52%, and total relative errors (TREs) are within ±3%; and for regional belowground biomass equations, the MPEs are from 9.91 to 28.85%, and the TREs are within ±4%. The above- and belowground biomass and D- and H-growth were significantly related to mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation. The biomass equations and growth models developed in this paper will provide good basis for estimating and predicting biomass of larch forests in China. 相似文献

This study assessed the net above-ground carbon stock in six community forests in the Dolakha district, Nepal. A survey was conducted of above-ground timber species, using random sampling. A tree-ring chronology for Pinus roxburghii was created to construct a growth model representative of the various mainly-pine species. The allometric model combined with tree ring analysis was used to estimate carbon stock and annual growth in the above-ground tree biomass. The out-take of forest biomass for construction material and fuelwood was estimated on the basis of interviews and official records of community forest user groups. The average annual carbon increment of the community forests was 2.19 ton/ha, and the average annual carbon out-take of timber and fuelwood was 0.25 ton/ha. The net average carbon balance of 1.94 ton/ha was equivalent to 117.44 tons of carbon per community forest annually. All the community forests were actively managed leading to a sustainable forest institution, which acts as a carbon sink. It is concluded that community forests have the potential to reduce emissions by avoiding deforestation and forest degradation, enhance forest carbon sink and improve livelihoods for local communities. 相似文献

In the Neotropics, there is a growing interest in establishing plantations of native tree species for commerce, local consumption, and to replant on abandoned agricultural lands. Although numerous trial plantations have been established, comparative information on the performance of native trees under different regional environments is generally lacking. In this study, we evaluated the accumulation and partitioning of above-ground biomass in 16 native and two exotic tree species growing in replicated species selection trials in Panama under humid and dry regional environments. Seven of the 18 species accumulated greater total biomass at the humid site than at the dry site over a two-year period. Species-specific biomass partitioning among leaves, branches and trunks was observed. However, a wide range of total biomass found among species (from 1.06 kg for Dipteryx panamensis to 29.84 kg for Acacia mangium at Soberania) justified the used of an Aitchison log ratio transformation to adjust for size. When biomass partitioning was adjusted for size, a majority of these differences proved to be a result of the ability of the tree to support biomass components rather than the result of differences in the regional environments at the two sites. These findings were confirmed by comparative ANCOVAs on Aitchison-transformed and non-Aitchison-transformed variables. In these comparisons, basal diameter, height and diameter at breast height were robust predictors of biomass for the pooled data from both sites, but Aitchison-transformed variables had little predictive power. 相似文献

Forest biomass estimation at large scale has become an important topic in the background of facing global climate change, and it is fundamental to develop individual tree biomass equations suitable for large-scale estimation. Based on the measured data of biomass components and stem volume from 100 sample trees of two larch species (Larix gmelinii and L. principis-rupprechtii) in northeastern and northern China, an integrated equation system including individual tree biomass equations, stem volume equation and height–diameter regression model were constructed using the dummy variable model and error-in-variable simultaneous equations. In the system, all the parameters of equations were estimated simultaneously, so that the aboveground biomass equation was compatible to stem volume equation and biomass conversion factor (BCF) function; the belowground biomass equation was compatible to root-to-shoot ratio (RSR) function; and stem wood, stem bark, branch and foliage biomass equations were additive to aboveground biomass equation. In addition, the system also ensured the compatibility between one- and two-variable models. The results showed that: (1) whether aboveground biomass equations or belowground biomass equations and stem volume equations, the estimates for larch in northeastern China were greater than those in northern China; (2) BCF of a larch tree decreased with the growing diameter while RSR increased with the growing diameter; (3) the proportion of stem wood biomass to aboveground biomass increased with the growing diameter while those of stem bark, branch, and foliage biomass decreased. 相似文献
