Book Carbon Budget Accounting at the Forest Management Unit Level

Download or read book Carbon Budget Accounting at the Forest Management Unit Level written by Martin Von Mirbach and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report has been prepared in response to an identified need to provide guidance to forest managers seeking to report on a carbon budget at the scale of the forest management unit. Key concepts, tasks, and methods related to carbon budgeting are first reviewed, and a few points gleaned from research carried out in Canadian model forests are summarized. Carbon budgeting is then explained with reference to three distinct tasks: obtaining a baseline measurement of the amount of carbon in a particular forest at a given time; measuring the change to that stock over time; and evaluating the likely impact of various management activities on future changes to the carbon budget. Information needed in order to apply these steps is given, with a focus on how to use existing inventories to record carbon stocks & fluxes. The report concludes with a listing of some activities that could help to store carbon in forests.

Book Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector  CBM CFS3

Download or read book Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector CBM CFS3 written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM-CFS3), version 1.2, is a stand- and landscape-level modeling framework that can be used to simulate the dynamics of all forest carbon pools required under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. The model is distributed free-of-charge from Natural Resources Canada, and comes with a set of default ecological parameters and data developed for forests of Canada, and these can be modified by the user, allowing for the application of the model in other countries. The Microsoft Access database housing these parameters and data is called the Archive Index Database (AIDB). The AIDB contains over 70 tables, each with varying numbers of fields populated with different types of data and parameters. This report describes the database tables and their relevance in the model, the fields they contain, any inter-table linkages, and literature related to the data or parameters in the fields. This database description will help users by increasing the transparency of the CBM-CFS3 and aiding those interested in modifying the AIDB to make it more applicable to forest ecosystems outside of Canada"--Abstract, p. iii.

Book The Carbon Budget of British Columbia s Forests  1920 1989

Download or read book The Carbon Budget of British Columbia s Forests 1920 1989 written by Werner Alexander Kurz and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector is a national-scale model of forest sector carbon pools and fluxes. This model has been applied to conduct a retrospective analysis of the carbon budget of British Columbia forests for 1920-1989. This report details the assumptions behind the model and the data sources for historic disturbances such as wildfire, forest insects, and different types of harvesting. It then presents model results for biomass and soil carbon pools, carbon fluxes, changes in forest age-class structure, and the model's sensitivity to a change in the assumption that biomass can decline in the overmature growth phase. The appendix includes a summary of a workshop examining the retrospective analysis.

Book Forest Ecosystems  Forest Management and the Global Carbon Cycle

Download or read book Forest Ecosystems Forest Management and the Global Carbon Cycle written by Michael J. Apps and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, forest vegetation and soils are both major stores of terrestrial organic carbon, and major contributors to the annual cycling of carbon between the atmosphere and the biosphere. Forests are also a renewable resource, vital to the everyday existence of millions of people, since they provide food, shelter, fuel, raw materials and many other benefits. The combined effects of an expanding global population and increasing consumption of resources, however, may be seriously endangering both the extent and future sustainability of the world's forests. About thirty chapters cover four main themes: the role of forests in the global carbon cycle; effects of past, present and future changes in forest land use; the role of forest management, products and biomass on carbon cycling, and socio-economic impacts.

Book The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Large scale Forest Carbon Project

Download or read book The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Large scale Forest Carbon Project written by Joseph Boivin and published by Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 2005 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Forest carbon and how it changes over time provides an indicator of the sustainability of forest management. It is also a sign of sequestration or emission of carbon dioxide between forests and the atmosphere that can affect the mitigation of atmospheric greenhouse gas accumulation and global climate change. To address the need for information on Ontario's forest carbon budget, a large-scale forest carbon modelling project was initiated. The background and objectives of this project are described in this report. Three complementary approaches are being used to estimate large-scale forest carbon storage in Ontario's forests: (1) the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBMCFS), (2) a modified version of FORCARB, which is the model developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to estimate carbon in U.S. forests, and (3) direct estimation of forest biomass carbon using Ontario's growth and yield and forest resources inventory data (CAM, the Carbon Allometry Method)."--Docment.

Book Quantifying Ontario s Forest Carbon Budget

Download or read book Quantifying Ontario s Forest Carbon Budget written by Changhui Peng and published by Sault Ste. Marie : Ontario Forest Research Institute. This book was released on 2000 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the use of a well-established carbon budget model for the Canadian forest sector to investigate the carbon budget of Ontario's forest ecosystems. It first reviews the model and its components, then presents results of model runs using input data mainly based on a 1985 forest biomass inventory database. Model simulations begin in 1989 with simulated initial ecosystem conditions that are the endpoint of a 70-year retrospective model run for the period 1920-1989. Results are discussed with regard to forest age structure, forest carbon distribution & stocks, and ecosystem carbon fluxes. The final section includes discussion of the contribution of Ontario forest ecosystems to Canada's carbon budgets and recommendations for further research.
