How does the potential to sequester carbon via short rotation forestry vary with species?
crossref(2023)
摘要
<p>Conversion of land to short rotation forestry (fast growing, densely planted trees, harvested within 15 years) has increased in recent years.  The wood produced is primarily used in short lived products (e.g. paper) or as biomass for renewable energy production, quickly returning carbon to the atmosphere. </p> <p>We ask, how much potential is there to sequester carbon via short rotation forestry and how does it differ between species when soil type and meteorological conditions are the same?</p> <p>We present preliminary results from a species field trial nearing maturity (planted in 2010), comparing soil carbon stocks (pre-planting to the present day); woody biomass; total and heterotrophic below-ground respiration; soil methane fluxes and leaf area index assessments between six commonly used short rotation forestry species (silver birch, common alder, sycamore, sweet chestnut, aspen and red alder). </p>
