Study on Carbon Sequestration Capacity of Timber Production Plantation of Populus sppin Xinjiang

The carbon sequestration capacity of the timber production plantation of Populous sppin Xinjiang was studied by age groups based on the data of 4th forest resource inventory and by means of the stocking volume methodologyThe results showed that the total area of poplar timber production plantation was 7200hm2 in Xinjiang, with 594600m3 of stocking volumeThe total volume of carbon storage of the Populous sppplantation in Xinjiang was 79249593tThe carbon storage of the premature stands, the middle aged stands and the young stands accounted for 6784%, 1361% and 1855% respectivelyBoth of the stocking volume and the carbon density per unit area of the premature stands and the postmature stands were higher than those of the middleaged stands and the young stands
