  1. 1. A detailed study on Amazon Forest structure and mortality rates through LPJ-GUESS vegetation model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Sara Mazzuoli; [2021]
    Keywords : Amazon s Forest; LPJ-GUESS; simulation; TEAM-NETWORK; dynamic vegetation model; observation; mortality; allometry; tree stand structure; biomass; cohort; PFTs; plant functional types; NPP; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Nowadays it has become relevant for scientists to understand the impact of tropical forest structure on the Global Carbon Cycle. Dynamic vegetation models have been developed to pursue this issue, specifically by improving algorithms that could analyze the allometry, biomass content and mortality rate of each singular simulated plant individual and how this responds to climate change, management and rising CO2 concentrations.

  3. 2. Measuring carbon sequestration and soil fertility in Swedish forest gardens : a methodological study

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Elsa Lagerquist; [2016]
    Keywords : biomass production; allometric equations; soil science; carbon cycling; agroforestry;

    Abstract : Agroforestry is an old agricultural practice which has got renewed interest during the last decades as an alternative to industrialized agriculture. Agroforestry is a practice with potential to promote several ecosystem services, e.g. carbon seques-tration and soil improvement. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biophysical changes following landscape restoration : in Changting model restoration site in Fujian province, southern China

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Martin Ewertson; [2016]
    Keywords : afforestation; biomass carbon pools; carbon and nitrogen in soil; broadleaves enrichment; eroded red soil;

    Abstract : China has promised to tackle climate change by decreasing its emission and promote carbon sinks primarily by forest plantations and restorations. There is a growing debate about the impacts of large-scale restorations using few fast-growing species on the kind of ecosystem we are creating and its adaptation to the future environmental conditions.
