Forest Management with Reduced-Impact Logging in Amazonia: Estimated Aboveground Volume and Carbon in Commercial Tree Species in Managed Forest in Brazil’s State of Acre

Tropical forest management has both positive and negative effects on climate change, quantifying these is important to avoid or minimize impacts reward net effects. This study contributes this effort by estimating the aboveground volume carbon present in commercial tree species a managed harvest stage Brazil’s state of Acre. A total 12,794 trees were measured. Trees categorized quantified as: “harvested trees” (“harvest cut”), which felled stage, “remaining (“future cutting,” “trees permanent protection areas APPs,” “seed trees,” “rare protected law”) that remained standing post-harvest. Aboveground stocks 81 (diameter at breast height [DBH] ? 10 cm) totaled 79.19 m³ ha?1 21.54 MgC ha?1, respectively. The category represents 44.48% 55.49% stocks. In area, felled; composed bole removed (19.25 5.32 ha?1) stump crown remain as decomposing organic material (15.97 4.41 ha?1). We can infer stock (DBH 13.20% area. boles directly from represent 3.26% carbon, stumps crowns harvested loss an additional 2.70%. For sustainability system terms balance, growth 35-year cycle must be sufficient replace not only amounts (0.27 year?1) but also losses collateral damage logging-related increased vulnerability fires. Financial viability future cycles will depend replenishment harvestable size 50 cm).
