Carbon storage and carbon density of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii forests at Huoditang forest region in Qinling Mountain
-
Abstract
The spatial distribution, carbon storage and carbon density of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii were studied by using the forest inventory data of Huoditang forest region in 1990 and Citystar 4.0 of GIS software. The results show that the total carbon storages of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii are 0.0018TgC and 0.0510TgC, respectively. Mean carbon densities are 7.6694MgC/hm2 and 38.9080MgC/hm2, respectively. The values of carbon storage and carbon density of artificial forest of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii are higher than those of the natural forests. All of these relates to the forest-type and age grade. The results also show that Pinus tabulaeformis forests mainly distribute below the altitude of 1800m and Pinus armandii forests in the middle part of Huoditang region on all the elevation. The artificial forests of Pinus tabulaeformis and Pinus armandii most distribute along the road.
