“…Bamboo can grow on marginal land that may not be suitable for agriculture or as an agroforestry crop in different niches (Lobovikov et al 2007). Intensive management of bamboo in productive sites showed remarkably growth rates compare to tree plantations established on marginal sites with negligible management (Darabant et al 2014).…”

“…It is used as a substitute for timber and plays an important role in reducing environmental degradation (Mathewos 2017). In addition to the direct benefits and environmental services, the fast-growing nature of bamboo is an important species for adapting climate change through carbon sequestration (Darabant et al 2014;Mathewos 2017). Bamboo can grow on marginal land that may not be suitable for agriculture or as an agroforestry crop in different niches (Lobovikov et al 2007).…”

Highland bamboo as part of Agroforestry practice is planted and managed by farmers in various plantation niches. However, the planation niches which are types of management on the productivity of bamboo is not yet understood. The research evaluates the impact of plantation niches on the productivity of highland bamboo in potential bamboo growing areas of West Amhara, Ethiopia. Farta, Banja, Dega Damot, and Sinan districts were selected for the study to represent potential highland bamboo growing areas in West Amhara. In each district, three kebeles (smaller administrative units in Ethiopia) were also selected based on their resource status and prevalence growing niches. Finally, a total of 324 sample plots were randomly selected over study areas for data collection. The Productivity and basal area of the bamboo stand were estimated by using DBH of the culm. Whereas the volume of bamboo stands was estimated using DBH, the height of culm breast, and total culm size. The diameter distribution of bamboo culms along plantation niches shows positively skewed between 4 and 8 cm ranges. The standing stock of culm ranges from 19,188 ± 336 culms ha À1 to 23,129 ± 390 culms ha À1 in woodlot and riverbank niches, respectively. The biomass storage capacity of highland bamboo varies from 92.2 ± 4.2 ton ha À1 to 118.6 ± 4.2 ton ha À1 total dry weight (TDW) from the roadside to riverbank plantation niches. Generally bamboo has a higher potential of accumulating huge dry weight, which is a good indicator of its potential for carbon sequestration and environmental protection. Therefore, it needs great attention from respective stakeholders to get twin benefits of bamboo as production and climate change mitigation.

Highly-lignified culms of bamboo show distinctive anatomical and mechanical properties compared with the culms of other grass species. A cell culture system for Phyllostachys nigra has enabled investigating the alterations in cellular states associated with secondary cell wall formation during its proliferation and lignification in woody bamboos. To reveal transcriptional changes related to lignification in bamboo, we analyzed transcriptome in P. nigra cells treated with the synthetic auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and the synthetic cytokinin benzylaminopurine (BA) by RNA-seq analysis. We found that some genes putatively involved in cell wall biogenesis and cell division were up-regulated in response to the 2,4-D treatment, and the induction of lignification by the BA treatment was correlated with up-regulation of genes involved in the shikimate pathway. We also found that genes encoding MYB transcription factors (TFs) show correlated expression patterns with those encoding cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), suggesting that MYB TFs presumably regulate secondary cell wall formation in the bamboo cells. These findings suggest that cytokinin signaling may regulate lignification in P. nigra cells through coordinated transcriptional regulation and metabolic alterations. Our results have also produced a useful resource for better understanding of secondary cell wall formation in bamboo plants.

Biomass exists in two forms, woody and non woody. The woody biomass originates from plants while non-woody form originates from excess waste of animals, industry and crops. Biomass feedstock can be used in the form of liquid fuels, heat, electric power, and bio-based products. Fig. 1 shows most common biomass feedstock [2]. ABSTRACTIn this paper the authors provide comparative evaluation of current research that used liquefaction and pyrolysis method for bio-oil production from various types of biomass. This paper review the resources of biomass, composition of biomass, properties of bio-oil from various biomass and also the utilizations of bio-oil in industry. The primary objective of this review article is to gather all recent data about production of bio-oil by using liquefaction and pyrolysis method and their yield and properties from different types of biomass from previous research. Shortage of fossil fuels as well as environmental concern has encouraged governments to focus on renewable energy resources. Biomass is regarded as an alternative to replace fossil fuels. There are several thermo-chemical conversion processes used to transform biomass into useful products, however in this review article the focus has been made on liquefaction and pyrolysis method because the liquid obtained which is known as bio-oil is the main interest in this review article. Bio-oil contains hundreds of chemical compound mainly phenol groups which make it suitable to be used as a replacement for fossil fuels.
