Carbon sequestration for different management alternatives in sweet chestnut coppice in northern Spain

Estimation of carbon sequestration potential stand coppice pertion oak (Quercus brantii) in kamfirooz (Fars provience).

In this study 30 coppice oak trees(Quercus brantii Lindl.) with least diameter of 5 centimeteres were chosen with random classification. Characteristics such as the number of sprouts, the diameter, total height, and the large and small diameter of crown were measured. For this purpose, the diameter ranges of the oak trees were devided into 5 cm classes and at least the growth factors of 3 trees...

Soil Carbon Sequestration Capacity in Different Land Uses (Case Study: Award Watershed in Mazandaran Province)

Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics and Carbon Sequestration in Soils under Different Residue Management

A study was conducted at the research farm of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh during August 2011 to May 2012 in two consecutive rice seasons of T. aman and Boro using three types of organic residues viz. poultry manure, cowdung and rice straw as treatments to quantify their effects on soil carbon, nitrogen, carbon sequestration and CO2 emission. Po...

Nitrogen Deposition Enhances Carbon Sequestration by Plantations in Northern China

Nitrogen (N) deposition and its ecological effects on forest ecosystems have received global attention. Plantations play an important role in mitigating climate change through assimilating atmospheric CO2. However, the mechanisms by which increasing N additions affect net ecosystem production (NEP) of plantations remain poorly understood. A field experiment was initialized in May 2009, which in...

Carbon dioxide sequestration in concrete in different curing environments

This paper summarizes the results of an investigation on carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration in concrete. Concrete mixtures were not air entrained. Concrete mixtures were made containing Class C fly ash at 0%, 18%, and 35% of total cementitious materials. Effects of three different curing environments on properties of concrete were studied: (1) moist-curing room with 100% relative humidity (RH) ...
