Carbon dynamics of paper, engineered wood products and bamboo in landfills: evidence from reactor studiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2018
Ximenes, Fabiano A., Kathuria, Amrit, Barlaz, Morton A., Cowie, Annette L.
There has been growing interest in the development of waste-specific decay factors for estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from landfills in national greenhouse gas inventories. Although engineered wood products (EWPs) and paper represent a substantial component of the solid waste stream, there is limited information available on their carbon dynamics in landfills. The objective of this study w...... hiện toàn bộ
Improving carbon monitoring and reporting in forests using spatially-explicit informationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-16 - 2016

Understanding and quantifying carbon (C) exchanges between the biosphere and the atmosphere—specifically the process of C removal from the atmosphere, and how this process is changing—is the basis for developing appropriate adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change. Monitoring forest systems and reporting on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals are now required components of i...... hiện toàn bộ
Time-series maps of aboveground carbon stocks in the forests of central SumatraSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-13 - 2015
Rajesh Bahadur Thapa, Takeshi Motohka, Manabu Watanabe, Masanobu Shimada
Efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in tropical Asia require accurate high-resolution mapping of forest carbon stocks and predictions of their likely future variation. Here we combine radar and LiDAR with field measurements to create a high-resolution aboveground forest carbon stock (AFCS) map and use spatial modeling to present probable future AFCS changes for th...... hiện toàn bộ
Time-series maps of aboveground biomass in dipterocarps forests of Malaysia from PALSAR and PALSAR-2 polarimetric dataSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-19 - 2018
Hamdan Omar, Muhamad Afizzul Misman
Malaysia typically suffers from frequent cloud cover, hindering spatially consistent reporting of deforestation and forest degradation, which limits the accurate reporting of carbon loss and CO2 emissions for reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) intervention. This study proposed an approach for accurate and consistent measurements of biomass carbon and CO2 emissions ...... hiện toàn bộ
On the realistic contribution of European forests to reach climate objectivesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 1-5 - 2019

A recent article by Luyssaert et al. (Nature 562:259–262, 2018) analyses the climate impact of forest management in the European Union, considering both biogeochemical (i.e., greenhouse gases, GHG) and biophysical (e.g., albedo, transpiration, etc.) effects. Based on their findings, i.e. that additional net overall climate benefits from forest management would be modest, the authors conclude that ...... hiện toàn bộ
Estimates of carbon stored in harvested wood products from the United States forest service northern region, 1906-2010Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 1-16 - 2012

Global forests capture and store significant amounts of CO2 through photosynthesis. When carbon is removed from forests through harvest, a portion of the harvested carbon is stored in wood products, often for many decades. The United States Forest Service (USFS) and other agencies are interested in accurately accounting for carbon flux associated with harvested wood products (HWP) to meet greenhou...... hiện toàn bộ
Carbon costs and benefits of France’s biomass energy production targetsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 1-22 - 2018
Aude Valade, Sebastiaan Luyssaert, Patrick Vallet, Sylvestre Njakou Djomo, Ingride Jesus Van Der Kellen, Valentin Bellassen
Concern about climate change has motivated France to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel by setting targets for increased biomass-based renewable energy production. This study quantifies the carbon costs and benefits for the French forestry sector in meeting these targets. A forest growth and harvest simulator was developed for French forests using recent forest inventory data, and the wood-use cha...... hiện toàn bộ
New feed sources key to ambitious climate targetsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-8 - 2015

Net carbon sinks capable of avoiding dangerous perturbation of the climate system and preventing ocean acidification have been identified, but they are likely to be limited by resource constraints (Nature 463:747–756, 2010). Land scarcity already creates tension between food security and bioenergy production, and this competition is likely to intensify as populations and the effects of climate cha...... hiện toàn bộ
Allometric equations for estimating belowground biomass of Androstachys johnsonii PrainSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 1-15 - 2015
Tarquinio Mateus Magalhães
The belowground component of the trees is still poorly known because it needs labour- and time-intensive in situ measurements. However, belowground biomass (BGB) constitutes a significant share of the total forest biomass. I analysed the BGB allocation patterns, fitted models for estimating root components and root system biomasses, and called attention for its possible use in predicting anchoring...... hiện toàn bộ
