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
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...

Carbon stocks of fast growing tree species and baselines after forest fire in east Kalimantan, Indonesia
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...

The paper is based on CIFOR's research achievements contained in the following two publications, "Fast wood forestry: myths and realities" by Cossalter and Pye-Smith and "Linking C&I to a code of practice for industrial tropical tree plantations" by Poulsen, Applegate and Raymond. One should cons...
