estimation of aboveground biomass carbon sequestration potential in rangeland ecosystems of iran

Estimation of biomass, carbon stocks and soil sequestration of Gowatr mangrove forests, Gulf of Oman

The mangrove forest ecosystem is known to possess a variety of ecosystem services, including high rates of carbon sequestration, storage and mitigating climate change through reduced deforestation. This study was carried out in the mangrove forests of Gowatr Bay, Gulf of Oman during 2017-18 to quantify biomass and carbon stocks of all components of this forest, including live and dead trees, so...

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...

The Effect of Stocking Rate on Carbon Sequestration of Prangos ferulacea (Case Study: Gorgou Summer Rangelands, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, Iran)

Rangelands are the most important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Knowledge of plant response to grazing is one of important requirements for rangeland management. Stocking rate is one of main factors in destruction of the vegetation cover in rangeland ecosystems. Livestock grazing has the potential to substantially alter carbon storage in grassland ecosystem. This study examined the effect...

A Comparative Study of Carbon Sequestration Potential in Aboveground Biomass in Primary Forest and Secondary Forest, Khao Yai National Park

Carbon sequestration in dryland ecosystems.

Drylands occupy 6.15 billion hectares (Bha) or 47.2% of the world's land area. Of this, 3.5 to 4.0 Bha (57%-65%) are either desertified or prone to desertification. Despite the low soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration, total SOC pool of soils of the drylands is 241 Pg (1 Pg = petagram = 10(15)g = 1 billion metric ton) or 15.5% of the world's total of 1550 Pg to 1-meter depth. Desertification...
