Plant biomass is an integral part of the global carbon cycle and a renewable energy source
that can deaccelerate the rising global temperature. India has 71 million ha (M ha) of land …

In order to assess the contribution to the overall carbon stock and generate carbon credits
under REDD+, it is essential to have an accurate estimation of biomass of different forest …

Open strip mining of coal results in loss of natural carbon (C) sink and increased emission of
CO 2 into the atmosphere. A field study was carried out at five revegetated coal mine lands …

Wood specific gravity (WSG) is an important attribute for biomass estimation of forest trees. It
is an important factor in converting forest volume into biomass. However, a number of factors …

Accurate estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB) strongly depend on the suitability and
precision of allometric models. Although additive allometric equations are expected to …

A total of 138 Dahurian larch (Larix gmelinii Rupr.) trees and 108 white birch (Betula
platyphylla Suk.) trees were harvested in the eastern Daxing'an Mountains, northeast China …

We investigated vegetation characteristics, carbon density (CD) and carbon accumulation
(CA) of trees in mono-and multi-specific, Tectona grandis (Teak) and Shorea robusta (Sal) …

As tropical deforestation and forest degradation accelerate, carbon-credit trading could
provide a financial incentive to preserve and regenerate forests. Since carbon trading relies …

Accurate biomass estimation is critical to quantify the changes in biomass and carbon stocks
following the restoration of degraded landscapes. However, there is lack of site-specific …

Tropical dry forests are one of the most widely distributed ecosystems in tropics, which
remain neglected in research, especially in the Eastern Ghats. Therefore, the present study …
