Aboveground biomass and ecosystem carbon pools in tropical secondary forests growing in six life zones of Costa Rica

Creator:

Cifuentes Jara, Miguel

Abstract:

Carbon sequestration in tropical secondary forests growing in all climates must be quantified to understand their potential role in adaptation and mitigation strategies of global climate change. Total aboveground biomass (TAGB), soil carbon, and total ecosystem carbon (TEC) were measured in 54 secondary forests growing along a broad bioclimatic gradient...

Detection of deforestation and land conversion and estimation of atmosperic emissions and elemental pool losses from biomass burning in Rondônia, Brazil

Creator:

Guild, Liane S.

Abstract:

Biomass burning associated with deforestation and land use in the Amazon, greatly contributes to emissions as well as depletion of elemental pools. We identified deforestation and pasture formation and quantified resultant burning emissions and terrestrial aboveground elemental pool losses during a period of early colonization in the vicinity of Jamari,...
