Stand growth, Biomass and Carbon sequestration potentials of Parkia biglobosa (jacq.) Bench plantation in South-Western Nigeria
This study assessed tree growth variables, above (AGB), below ground biomass (BGB) and total carbon content (TC) sequestered by Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Bench. Plantation in Wasangare, Oyo State using nondestructive ground base survey. Tree growth data (Diameter at breast height, Dbh and Tree height...

| 520 | |a This study assessed tree growth variables, above (AGB), below ground biomass (BGB) and total carbon content (TC) sequestered by Parkia biglobosa (Jacq.) Bench. Plantation in Wasangare, Oyo State using nondestructive ground base survey. Tree growth data (Diameter at breast height, Dbh and Tree height, Th) were collected using lacer ace hypsometer and diameter girth tape from 20 temporary sampling plots of size 25 m X 25 m established through systematic transect lines. Diameter size classes (DSC) for the plantation was examined, carbon stock for each DSC was also determine while basal area (m2 ha-1), volume (m3 ha-1), Biomass (Mg ha-1) and Carbon (Mg ha-1) were also estimated. Results showed mean Dbh of 18.7 + 0.25 cm with 8.14 + 0.10 m, 0.033 + 0.00 m2 ha- 1 and 0.320 + 0.01 m3 ha-1 for tree height, basal area and volume respectively. AGB and BGB were 10.877 + 0.39 Mgha-1 and 2.175 + 0.08 Mgha-1 respectively while TC was 6.527 + 0.24 Mgha-1. The percentage carbon stock proportion for each DSC revealed class size 25-29-9 cm (19.02%) as the highest while the least proportion was observed in less than 5 cm class with 0.04% of carbon. The DSC showed majority of the tree Dbh in lower Dbh classes with fewer trees in higher classes forming almost a normal bell shape. The study provides information that can help the management in planning silvicultural activities and selective removal from the stand (harvesting schedule). Tree Dbh, height, basal area, volume and biomass are the determinant characteristics for forest carbon assessment. In conclusion, the plantation actively sequesters carbon showing potentials for indigenous trees in climate change mitigation. | ||
