Carbon storage in a dry Miombo woodland area in Tanzania

Southern Forests a Journal of Forest Science (2024)

Ezekiel Edward Mwakalukwa Henrik Meilby Thorsten Treue

AbstractA persistent need exists, both politically and academically, for knowledge on carbon storage and sequestration potentials of forest ecosystems and their contributions to the global carbon balance. This study assessed carbon stocks of a 6 065 ha dry Miombo woodland site in Iringa Rural district, Tanzania. The carbon stock for each of the six pools: trees, shrubs, deadwood, herbaceous vegetation (grass and herbs), surface litter and soil were estimated. Assuming a 50% carbon share of biomass, the results showed that the aboveground carbon stocks were: 24.71 Mg C ha−1 for trees; 10.88 Mg C ha−1 for shrubs; 0.54 Mg C ha−1 for deadwood; 0.58 Mg C ha−1 for herbaceous vegetation; and 2.47 Mg C ha−1 for surface litter. Soil carbon was estimated separately for two depth ranges: 0–15 cm and 15–30 cm below the surface. These soil strata contributed 21.24 Mg C ha−1 and 8.22 Mg C ha−1 respectively. The total carbon (C) stock of the six pools was 68.64 Mg C ha−1. Considering the vast area covered by dry Miombo woodlands in Tanzania and in 10 other countries in south-eastern Africa, the carbon stock of these ecosystems is clearly tremendous, underscoring the importance of conserving them.Key words: biomasscarbon poolsclimate changedeforestationREDD+

Effect of Thinning on the Diameter Increment in Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) Stands

Acta silvatica & lignaria Hungarica (2009)

Károly Rédei Henrik Meilby

Black locust is one of the most important stand forming tree species in Hungary, covering approximately 23% of the forested land (410 thousand ha) and providing 23% of the annual timber cut of the country. Hence, during the past two decades several experiments with this species have been carried out in the country. This paper investigates the influence of thinning on the diameter increment in an experiment including four plots. One plot was left as an unthinned control plot and three plots were thinned with various thinning intensities at age 22. The experiment was measured at ages 22, 27, 32, and 36. Apparently the thinning intensities applied on two of the plots did not come up to the intensity required to influence the diameter growth of the remaining upper-storey trees. Therefore, for a given tree size the growth of the trees on these two plots did not differ significantly from the growth of similar trees in the unthinned plot. By contrast, significant thinning effects on the diameter increment of individual trees were observed on the most heavily thinned plot. Here the diameter increment was enhanced for trees with diameters of less than 20 cm, whereas the largest trees of the stand exhibited moderately increased growth. Apparently a stand density corresponding to the heavy thinning treatment (Fw values of 22-23) is required to get a significant thinning response. On the other hand, to avoid thinning shocks, it may be recommendable to apply two moderate thinning treatments instead of a single heavy one.

Reviewing tourism and natural resource research in the Arctic: towards a local understanding of sustainable tourism in the case of South Greenland

Geografisk Tidsskrift-Danish Journal of Geography (2021)

Maya Pasgaard Niels Fold Henrik Meilby Per Kalvig

Tourism and natural resources are rapidly changing in the Arctic. Human activities and climate change are transforming natural landscapes and affecting populations of wildlife, while remote Arctic destinations that were previously regarded as inaccessible and unattractive are being engulfed by the global increase in tourism. In parallel with these developments, the concept and practice of "sustainable tourism" is gaining weight. Connecting these two trends raises multiple questions, including how tourism affects natural resources in the Arctic and whether sustainable Arctic tourism is possible. We conduct a systematic review of scientific publications connecting tourism and natural resources in the Arctic in order to shed light on the environmental dimensions of sustainable tourism. Based on our review, we highlight the multidirectional relationship between tourism and natural resources, and we use southern Greenland as a concrete example of an Arctic destination to which we tie our discussion of "sustainable tourism" in both theory and practice. We conclude that framing sustainable tourism as a relative and comparative concept specific to the time, place and type of tourism activity, rather than as a set of general and ideal criteria, might be more applicable and meaningful in research and as a development strategy for tourism destinations.

Population structure and distribution of Abies spectabilis (D. Don) in Central Nepal Himalaya: A comparison with the total woody vegetation of the forests at the three different elevation ranges in Manang District

Banko Janakari (2015)

D. K. Kharal Dinesh Raj Bhuju Narayan Prasad Gaire S. Rayamajhi Henrik Meilby

Population structure and distribution of vegetation are often affected by elevation induced climate variation in the Himalaya. This research aims at assessing the population structure and distribution of Abies spectabilis in three different elevation sites within the forests areas in Manang District of central Nepal. Vegetation sampling was conducted during Sept-Oct 2012 and the population information of all the woody vegetation from a total of 59 concentric circular sampling plots of 10 m radii along the transect line were collected. The middle elevation site was characterized by the highest density of seedlings (15,044/ha), saplings (1,629/ha), poles (272/ha) and trees (179/ha) of all woody vegetation. In this elevation, the highest proportion was contributed by A. spectabilis (54%) at combined-level in spite of the lack of large-sized stems (dbh > 70 cm). The proportion of A. spectabilis stem was nearly one-fourth of all the woody vegetation while its lowest proportion (15.5%) was found at the lower elevation at combined-level. On the contrary, its basal area proportion was nearly the half of all the woody vegetation at the lower elevation site, nearly one-third at the middle elevation site and less than 10% at the upper elevation site. There was a significant variation in mean density and basal areas of all stem categories among the sampled sites except the seedling density of all the woody vegetation between the lower and the middle elevations. The stem distribution of all the woody vegetation including A. spectabilis demonstrated the characteristics of normal (sustainable) forest in Manang District. The presence of only small-sized trees with good recent regeneration of A. spectabilis in the upper treeline ecotone revealed stand densification as well as its potential for upward migration in response to environmental change including climate change in future.Banko Janakari; A Journal of Forestry Information for Nepal Vol. 25, No. 1Page: 3-14

Modelling the growth of <i>Shorea robusta</i> using growth ring measurements

Banko Janakari (1970)

Prakash Sapkota Henrik Meilby

This paper presents distance-independent diameter growth models for Sal (Shorea robusta Gaertn. f.) in Kankali Community Forest, Chainpur VDC, Chitwan. As the basis for modelling, stem discs were cut 0.3 m above-ground for a sample of 80 trees that had recently been felled. Growth rings were measured along four radii and, except for the outer part of a few discs originating from old trees, individual growth rings could be distinguished without major difficulty. Supplementary data were gathered as a basis for preparing models relating [i] diameter under bark to diameter on bark and [ii] diameter 0.3 m above-ground to diameter 1.3 m above-ground. Based on these data, auxiliary models were developed and used to convert growth ring measurements into diameter increment at breast height. The mean diameter increment was 0.87 cm/year (n = 1514) and the standard deviation was 0.33 cm/year. The relationships between diameter increment and current diameter, stem age, growth in previous years, rainfall and temperature were modelled. Four different models were presented. Rainfall during the growth season, particularly the months of May-July, proved to influence growth considerably and suggests a scope for dendroclimatological studies in Sal.
