Abstract:
The carbon sequestration capacity of the timber production plantation of Populous sppin Xinjiang was studied by age groups based on the data of 4th forest resource inventory and by means of the stocking volume methodologyThe results showed that the total area of poplar timber production plantation was 7200hm2 in Xinjiang, with 594600m3 of stocking volumeThe total volume of carbon storage of the Populous sppplantation in Xinjiang was 79249593tThe carbon storage of the premature stands, the middle aged stands and the young stands accounted for 6784%, 1361% and 1855% respectivelyBoth of the stocking volume and the carbon density per unit area of the premature stands and the postmature stands were higher than those of the middleaged stands and the young stands
