Book Forests  Carbon Cycle and Climate Change

Download or read book Forests Carbon Cycle and Climate Change written by Denis Loustau and published by Editions Quae. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results presented in this book summarize the main findings of the CARBOFOR project, which brought together 52 scientists from 14 research units to investigate the effects of future climate on the carbon cycle, the productivity and vulnerability of French forests. This book explains the current forest carbon cycle in temperate and Mediterranean climates, including the dynamics of soil carbon and the total carbon stock of French forests, based on forest inventories. It reviews and illustrates the main ground-based methods for estimating carbon stocks in tree biomass. Spatial variations in projected climate change over metropolitan France throughout the 21st century are described. The book then goes on to consider the impacts of climate change on tree phenology and forest carbon balance, evapotranspiration and production as well as their first order interaction with forest management alternatives. The impact of climate change on forest vulnerability is analysed. A similar simulation study was carried out for a range of pathogenic fungi, emphasizing the importance of both warming and precipitation changes. The consequences of climate change on the occurrence of forest fires and the forest carbon cycle in the Mediterranean zone are also considered.A valuable reference for researchers and academics, forest engineers and managers, and graduate level students in forest ecology, ecological modelling and forestry.

Book A Key to the Literature Presenting Tree Volume and Taper Equations for Species in the Pacific Northwest and California

Download or read book A Key to the Literature Presenting Tree Volume and Taper Equations for Species in the Pacific Northwest and California written by David W. Hann and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summaries from 49 published articles on tree volume and taper equations are presented for 39 tree species found in California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, Idaho, and western Montana. The summaries are organized by species and then by type of equation (volume or taper). Each summary describes the types of dependent variables predicted by the equations and the geographic location, number of trees, range in DBH, and range in total height for trees in the sample used to develop the equations.

Book Enhanced Height growth rate Equations for Undamaged and Damaged Trees in Southwest Oregon

Download or read book Enhanced Height growth rate Equations for Undamaged and Damaged Trees in Southwest Oregon written by David W. Hann and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equations for predicting the 5-yr height growth rate of a tree are presented for six conifer species from southwest Oregon. Equations for the combination of undamaged and damaged trees were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. These equations are being incorporated into the new southwest Oregon version of ORGANON, a model for predicting the development of stands. The equations extend the previous model to older stands and to stands with a heavier component of hardwood tree species. The effects of specific damaging agents on the 5-yr height growth rate were explored for Douglas-fir, the most frequently encountered species, and damage correction factors were estimated. The findings of this analysis indicated that damaging agents can have a significant impact upon 5-yr height growth rate, and as a result, they can lead, over time, to diversification in within-stand structure. Therefore, a full characterization of stand development should include the prediction of the presence and frequency of the various damaging agents affecting trees within the stand and their subsequent impact upon tree attributes such as total height, height to crown base, diameter growth rate, height growth rate, and mortality rate.

Book Equations for Predicting the Largest Crown Width of Stand grown Trees in Western Oregon

Download or read book Equations for Predicting the Largest Crown Width of Stand grown Trees in Western Oregon written by David W. Hann and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largest crown width (LCW) equations for stand-grown trees were developed for 14 tree species found in western Oregon. The equations are used in the growth-and-yield model ORGANON and in the stand-visualization program VIZ4ST. They were constructed such that LCW equals the maximum crown width of open-grown trees when the crown ratio is equal to one. Tree measurements needed for the equations are diameter at breast height (in.), total tree height (ft), and crown length (ft).
