“…4c and d). This result is supported by the findings of Vedrova (2005), who reported that the amount of C stored in roots was higher in evergreen conifers than in hardwoods. The low planting density of poplar plantations also might explain the lower root C stocks.…”

“…Given that 1 kg of CH 4 equals 23 kg of CO 2 during a 100‐year time scale (IPCC, 2001) and accounting for the mass of C in CO 2 (0.2727), the maximum difference in carbon equivalent methane consumption after afforestation is 12.5 kg C ha −1 yr −1 . This is a negligible amount compared with carbon storage in woody biomass: the average for all tree species annual biomass accumulation at the Siberian afforestation experiment is near 4000 kg C ha −1 yr −1 (Vedrova, 2005). Assuming that our measurements of CH 4 consumption are representative for the entire 35‐year afforestation period, we can conclude that reduced CH 4 oxidation under forest offsets the total carbon gain of afforestation by only 0.3%.…”

“…For the boreal forest, we used the values of k 0i given by (Vedrova, 1995(Vedrova, , 2005), which were averaged for all the species and all the taiga types considered. For the temperate grassland, we used averaged values of k 0i of roots and aboveground parts of herbaceous plants measured in temperate latitudes taken from (Bontti et al, 2009).…”
