“…The contribution of culm component was maximum with 84–86% followed by branch component with 8.1–8.7% and minimum in leave component with 5–7.1% in both the bamboos. The present range is in the same range with Schizostachyum pergacile bamboo form Northeast India 25 which reported 83.67%, 8.94% and 7.39% contribution by culm, branch and leave components respectively; with mixed bamboo forest from Ghana which had 90.3%, 5.7% and 4.0% contribution of culm, branch and leave components, respectively 20 .…”

“…As the culm density plays an important role in the level of aboveground biomass indicated by the correlation results, the increment in culm density especially in the older age class in the second year can be the determining factor for the amount of aboveground biomass. The present culm densities were higher than 7171culms/ha of Bambusa vulgaris from Ghana 20 (Table 5 ); from moso bamboo of China which reported a range of 3400–4220 culms/ha 21 ; from Majumdar et al 22 which reported 1088 culms/ha of Bambusa tulda from Tripura Northeast India; 1860 culms/ha of Bambusa tulda and 1364 culms/ha of Dendrocalamus strictus from Northern India 23 ; 7365 culms/ha of village bamboo grove from Assam Northeast India 19 and 2933 culms/ha of Bambusa vulgaris from Bangladesh 24 . However the present range was lower than Singnar et al 10 which reported a culm density of 39,075 culms/ha of Melocanna baccifera a monopodial bamboo from Assam.…”

The Northeastern hilly states of India harbor nearly 90 species of bamboos, 41 of which are endemic to the region. Estimation of C-storage and C-sequestration in aboveground biomass of two common bamboo species namely Bambusa tulda and Dendrocalamus longispathus was carried out in Mizoram-one of the eight states of Northeastern India. Recording of density of culms was done by quadrate method and harvesting of culms was done to estimate the aboveground biomass. C-storage in different components of the culms was found out for three age classes namely 1, 2 and ≥ 3 year old culms. Aboveground biomass ranged from 73.58 to 127 Mg/ha in Bambusa tulda and 115 to 150 Mg/ha in Dendrocalamus longispathus. Culm density and aboveground biomass were maximum in the ≥ 3 year age class in both the species. C-storage ranged from 36.34 to 64.00 Mg/ha in Bambusa tulda and 50.11 to 65.16 Mg/ha in Dendrocalamus longispathus. Although having lower aboveground biomass the rate of C-sequestration was higher in Bambusa tulda with 27.79 Mg/ha/year than Dendrocalamus longispathus which have 15.36 Mg/ha/year. The reason was attributed to higher increment of culm density and DBH of the older age class in the second year study period in Bambusa tulda.

“…Siarudin & Indrajaya's research results in community forests planted with Gmelina species also showed that above-ground carbon storages were dominated by trees (96.7%) [16]. This phenomenon was found in bamboo stands, where above-ground carbon storages of the stems made up 80-90% of the total above-ground carbon storages [20].…”

The development of gliricidia plantation (Gliricidia sepium) in Indonesia can be considered as a climate change mitigation action to reduce greenhouse gases emission. This paper investigates the yield regulation and potential above-ground carbon storage of gliricidia at Perhutani Forest Management Unit Semarang. The biomass production of gliricidia at various age (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years) can be utilized to determine the biological cycle and estimating the potential above-ground carbon storage. The result showed that gliricidia could be harvested after 2-years to produce optimum biomass. Above-ground carbon storage in gliricidia plantation distributed in the tree (94.73%), litter (2.98%), and understorey plants (2.29%). Total above-ground carbon storage in gliricidia plantation at age 1-5 years are 6.285,45 Mg C, 8.052,58 Mg C, 9.161,93 Mg C, 14.238,63 Mg C, and 25.474,79 Mg C, respectively.

“…The hemicellulose content of the biomass was determined using the method adopted by Amoah et al [23]. 150ml NaOH solution was added to the residue from the extractive analysis and the mixture boiled for 3.5hr with recycled distilled water after which the residue was filtered and washed very well to remove sodium ion.…”

The screening of the process parameters on the enzymatic hydrolysis of a blend of two lignocellulosic materials - corn cob (CC) and deseeded fluted pumpkin fruit (DFPF) using Trichoderma reesei was the focus of the present study. Four process parameters – time, temperature, substrate blend ratio and pH were screened for statistical significance using a 4 x 4 matrix of Graeco-Latin square design of experiment. The reducing sugar yield was determined using the dinitrosalisylic acid (DNS) method and maximum reducing sugar yield of 57.92mg/ml obtained in 2days at 40oC, blend ratio of 0.2:0.8 (CC:DFPF) and pH 5.5. Result of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) obtained showed that with 3 degrees of freedom and 6 residual degree of freedom at 95% confidence level (i.e. 0.05 significance), time, temperature and substrate blend ratio significantly affected the enzymatic hydrolysis process whereas the effect of pH was not significant. However, only time was significant at 99% confidence level (0.01 significance) while temperature, substrate blend ratio and pH were not significant. This study has highlighted the significant factors among the process variables in emzymatic hydrolysis of a blend of CC and DFPF.
