Agricultural University in Krakow Number of participants: about 50 from 8 institutions

3 OBJECTIVES The aims of the project are: to generate the allometric equations, to verify the empirical measures defining quantity of wood biomass of main forest stand species, to prepare the measurement methods concerning the quantity of carbon stored in forest, to prepare the methods of defining changes in carbon accumulations and its dynamics in relation to different forest mnagement practices.

4 WORK EXTEND The research is conducted for: 8 most important tree species, 12 species of shrub layer. Almost 300 research sites, representing different age classes and habitats, as well as economic meaning of analysed tree species. Together: 60 (Pine) + 60 (Spruce) + 24 (Fir) + 18 (Larch) + 48 (Oak) + 48 (Beech) + 18 (Birch) + 18 (Alder) = 294 sample plots.

5 Share of area taken by different dominant tree species in the State Forests 67,4% 6,2% 1,1% 2,0% 5,3% 5,0% 6,3% 6,7% data source: The State Forests National Forest Holding, Annual Report 2005

6 WORK EXTEND After data collection (direct measurement, terrestrial laser scanning) empirical formulas were developed for biomass calculation of trees, shrubs, soil cover and calculation of carbon sequestrated in stands of main species. Additionally changes of carbon sequestration in relation to different forest management scenarios are to be estimated. Final results should let us to estimate stands biomass and carbon sequestration using inventory data, SILP, and results of other research projects.

7 EXPECTED RESULTS Data obtained from model trees let us to create allometric equations for above- and below-ground biomass of trees on the basis of their DBH. Additionally relationship was analysed between results obtained from ground measurments and: LAI instrumental measurement, hemispherical photography, satellite images and aerial photography, airborne and terrain lidar, inventory data, and accumulation of CO 2 in trees biomass (including biomass of assimilation apparatus).

36 Project output 1. Models of carbon storage for each site and stand type 2. Evaluation of carbon storage and CO2 retention ability of forest ecosystems based on models and State Forests inventory database 3. Forest Digital Map (part of State Forest Information System) is to be used to visualise the results all over the country (from particular forest complex till different State Forest or state administration units) 4. Definition of indexes supporting rapporting the amount of accumulated carbon
