- Abstract:
-
It is important to accurately assess carbon sequestration ability and trends in forest ecosystems and systematically analyze tempo-spatial heterogeneity among various forest ecosystems and controlling factors to achieve sustainable forest carbon sinks. Based on the eighth forestry inventory data, the carbon storage and carbon density of arboreal forests in Henan Province, China was estimated. In addition, the characteristics were analyzed according to dominant tree species, age groups and forest origins. The results showed the total carbon storage of arboreal forests vegetation amounted to 74.227 8 million tons in 2013, in which Deciduous oaks and Populus forest accounted for 67.32%; the average carbon density of arboreal forests vegetation was 24.31 t/hm2 and below the national average; the young forests and middle-aged forests were dominant forest types, and accounted for 34.09% and 40.84% of total carbon storage, respectively; the vegetation carbon storage of natural forests and plantation forests were 35.123 5 million tons and 39.104 3 million tons, and their average carbon density was 26.72 t/hm2 and 22.49 t/hm2, respectively. Furthermore, the results also indicated that arboreal forests of Henan Province, especially plantation forests, will have the huge potential for carbon sequestration in the future, and will play an important role in forest carbon storage.
