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...
متن کاملPotential of Carbon Sequestration of Hammada salicornica Vegetation Type in Desert Areas (Case Study: South Khorasan, Iran)
Climate change due to increasing the level of greenhouse gases including CO2 is the main environmental issue of the world in the new century. One of the effective way for reducing atmospheric CO2 is carbon sequestration by plants and soils. A vast area of Iran has desert condition with special adapted plant species in which can be devoted for carbon sequestration. Hammada salicornica as a shrub...
متن کاملCarbon Capture and Sequestration: Potential Environmental Impacts
Over the last few years, understanding of the profound implications of anthropogenically driven climate change has grown. In turn, this has fuelled research into options to mitigate likely impacts. Approaches involving the capture of carbon dioxide and its storage in geological formations, or in marine waters, have generated a raft of proposed solutions. The scale of some of these proposals is ...
متن کاملstimating potential of urban forests for atmospheric carbon sequestration
co2 is the main greenhouse gas which urban forests have a high potential to absorb and sequestrate it. the air pollution of tehran is one of the most important environmental problems of the iran. to do this research 40 years old stands of robinia pseudoacacia and fraxinus rotundifolia and the surrounding barren land ( as blank) were selected in chitgar forest park of tehran and the amount of ca...
متن کاملSoil carbon dynamics and potential carbon sequestration by rangelands.
The USA has about 336 Mha of grazing lands of which rangelands account for 48%. Changes in rangeland soil C can occur in response to a wide range of management and environmental factors. Grazing, fire, and fertilization have been shown to affect soil C storage in rangelands, as has converting marginal croplands into grasslands. Carbon losses due to soil erosion can influence soil C storage on r...
