Carbon Sequestration Potential of Moso Bamboo Forest in Zhejiang Province Based on the Non-Spatial Structure
A model was constructed with a non-spatial structure to estimate carbon sequestration potential of a moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys edulis) ioresl on the basis of a biomass estimation model of individual Moso bamboo and the forest stand characteristics. The biological implications of the model were described in detail. The optimum solution of the model was solved by using Linprog and Solve functions in Matlab software under specified constraint conditions. Results showed that moso bamboo forest carbon storage reached a maximum value of 42 220.214 9 kg · hm-2 when percentage of bamboo in 1 du ,2du ,3du, and ≥4du is 0. 25 respectively, stem density is 4 363 stem · hm-2 , and mean diameter at breast height is 12. 169 1 cm. Some measures were proposed to increase carbon sequestration of a moso bamboo forest according to the optimized results from this study and the forest stand structure.
