Biomass of a mature man-made forest in West Java, Indonesia, was estimated to evaluate the carbon sequestration potential of plantation forest in the humid tropics. Twenty plots, each 0.25 ha in area and containing one to six planted species over 40 years of age and with closed canopies, were sel...

Biomass of a man-made forest of timber tree species in the humid tropics of West Java, Indonesia
Data on standing biomass, mean annual increment of carbon stock, and nutrient accumulation in 40 industrial plantations at 21 sites in 11 countries are summarised. Aboveground biomass and mean annual increment of carbon near the harvest age, of these plantations ranged from 44 to 324 t ha-1 and f...

Biomass and potential nutrient removal by harvesting in short-rotation plantations
The objective of this study was to show the growth performance of dipterocarp plantations. The authors collected data on diameter at breast height and total height of the trees in four research forests established between 1937 and 1955. In total, 29 species of Dipterocarpaceae were examined. The ...

Activities of forest management require a well planned, systematic and well directed handling, so that achieving maximal and beneficial results in terms of economic, ecological and social prospects. In relevant to data on trunk volume of available tree stands are required to set up a plan intende...

Tree trunk volume of Shorea species case study in Darmaga and Haurbentes research forest in West Java, Indonesia
In terms of sink activities in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) there is little information about carbon accumulation. This paper deals with case studies in natural young secondary forests and man made forests in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. East Kalimantan has high possibility of CDM activit...

This study estimates that sequestrated carbon by industrial tree plantations is at about 10 tC/ha/yr in good sites. The carbon accumulated by rehabilitation forests is not always less than that of industrial plantations. Selecting the suitable pecies could be one of the essential factors to succe...
