Aboveground and Belowground Biomass and Carbon Estimates for Clonal Eucalyptus Trees in Southeast Brazil

Abstract: -Eucalyptus plantations represent a short term and cost efficient alternative for sequestrating carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Despite the known potential of forest plantations of fast growing species to store carbon in the biomass, there are relatively few studies including precise estimates of the amount of carbon in these plantations. In this study it was determined the carbon content in the stems, branches, leaves and roots of a clonal Eucalyptus grandis plantation in the Southeast of Brazil. We devel… Show more

“…So, we regress the carbon stock by crown cover from predictors (DBH and height) to develop allometric equation to estimate carbon stock. This is consistent with the previous studies in which DBH and Height were used as predictor variables for the estimation of the total amount of carbon and biomass (Joshi et al 2015;Karki et al 2016;Luyssaert et al 2008;Ribeiro et al 2015). However, allometric equations developed for predicting biomass or carbon vary widely, but the easiest and most commonly used is a linear model in the form of y=a+bX where x is DBH and a and b are slopes.…”

“…However, allometric equations developed for predicting biomass or carbon vary widely, but the easiest and most commonly used is a linear model in the form of y=a+bX where x is DBH and a and b are slopes. Unlike other studies (Cole and Ewel 2006;Joshi et al 2015;Ribeiro et al 2015;Shah and Acharya 2010;Tashi et al 2017;Mohd Zaki et al 2016) where models are mostly developed from directly measured variable like DBH and/or Height, with categorization into different crown cover classes, linear model with natural logarithm of DBH 2 and height was best fitted for Chure Sal forest. These regression equations are highly precise (adjusted R 2 >0.99, residuals are normally distributed as seen in Figure 4).…”

“…The same order of distribution was found in four-year-old Eucalyptus spp. in Vera Cruz, RS, Brazil (Schumacher et al, 2011); in 18-month-old E. urograndis in Piratini, RS, Brazil (Viera et al, 2012); in the biomass in a clone of E. urophylla × E. grandis, at 5.5 years of age, in the southeastern region of Brazil (Ribeiro et al, 2015); and in the biomass of Eucalyptus spp. in Kenya (Kuyah et al, 2013).…”
