Increasing Carbon Sequestration Through Enhanced Stand Establishment Practices
註釋Seedlings raised under steady-state nutrient loading conditions in the nursery may out-perform conventional seedlings in early growth after out-planting. This study estimates the long-term potential of enhanced reforestation using nutrient-loaded seedlings to increase carbon sequestration using black spruce plantations in northern Ontario as a case study. The study involved mathematical stand modelling procedures. Published early-growth data of out-planted nutrient-loaded & conventional seedlings were pooled to calibrate & select the fittest model for predicting growth of maturing plantations. Tree height estimates were converted to biomass & carbon content to express post-planting response of nursery nutrient loading on future plantation productivity & carbon sequestration.
