Determination carbon storage of Bamboo forest (Bambusa procure A.chev et A.cam) in Central Highlands
Keywords:
Bamboo forest,, carbon, CO 2, REDDAbstract
Bamboo forests bring people various values include economic, cultural
and environmental value. But the awareness of managers as well as the
community that it has little value and cleared to convert land use purpose
and overexploitation. Especially, in the current period when development
population issue, change the crop structure, demand of land using with
agricultural production purpose have trend to increases so deforestation
bamboo to convert purposes such as plant rubber tree, coffee or other agricultural crops made bamboo area has decrease. In general, forest
destruction also bamboo forest not only cause ecological imbalance but
also reduces absorb CO2 ability and indirectly increase CO2 emissions into
the atmosphere make speed up global climate change. One way of
sustainable forest management to economic development, cultural as
parallel with environmental protection issues that is calculated absorb CO2
value of bamboo forest to participate REDD program. The result of
research shows that carbon is stored mainly in bamboo trunk and it has
closely relationship with age factor of the tree, volume dry biomass of
litter and dead wood. Amount of CO2 absorbed in bamboo forest depend
on factors such as density trees/ha and average diameter. With average
diameter 3cm and density 3500 trees/ha would absorbed 601 ton CO2/ha.
And average diameter 9cm and density 16500 trees/ha would absorbed
1880 ton CO2/ha.
