Woodlot plantation takes our attention nowadays because of having high wood value, biomass and carbon stock. It also has considerable potential for regulating climate change by sinking CO. This study investigated the market value of woodlots concerning the current carbon trade mechanism, local timber and oxygen value. The carbon-di-oxide equivalence (CO) and release oxygen (O) ranged from 125.5 to 1004.5 Mg/ha (mean 436.3 Mg/ha) and 91.25-730.26 Mg/ha (mean 317.2 Mg/ha), respectively. Form carbon trade, the woodlots owner will earn 4,285-34,470 BDT/ha (mean 14,900 BDT/ha). It also seemed that the present market value of release oxygen (O) ranged from 3.2 to 25.5 million BDT/ha (average 11.1 million BDT/ha). However, the study area's average DBH, height, density, and basal area were 18.9 cm, 12.6 m, 1233 stem/ha, and 36.6 m/ha, respectively. The above-ground biomass, below-ground biomass, and total biomass ranged from 45.9 to 389.7 Mg/ha (mean 166.5 Mg/ha), 22.5-157.7 Mg/ha (mean 71.2 Mg/ha), and 68.4-547.4 Mg/ha (mean 237.7 Mg/ha) correspondingly. Besides, the produced wood volume ranged from 64.95-1225.19 m/ha (average 481.48 m/ha). While the price of wood ranged from 0.8 to 15.14 million BDT/ha (mean 5.95 million BDT/ha). However, the above-ground, below-ground, and total carbon ranged 22.97-194.85 Mg/ha (mean 87.27 Mg/ha, 11.23-78.85 Mg/ha (35.61 Mg/ha), and 34.2-273.7 Mg/ha (118.89 Mg/ha) independently. Moreover, our three developed basal area-based allometric models are fit for calculating the carbon stock of woodlots. This study explores the potentiality of woodlots in Bangladesh. Policymakers should encourage the farmers to create more woodlots that actively participate in climate change mitigation.

Background: In Ethiopia, highland bamboo has been cultivated in various niches: farmlands, riverbanks, woodlot boundaries, and homesteads, and agroforestry systems. However, the biomass and carbon storage of potential of bamboo forests across niches is not well characterized in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the biomass and carbon storage potential of highland bamboo plantations in northwestern Ethiopia.

Trees outside forests (TOFs) have assumed importance in view of its potential to mitigate CO under different carbon pools with soil as the prominent pool. The ability of any TOF practice to fix soil organic carbon (SOC) efficiently depends on its SOC build up and soil quality that varies across different strata within TOFs. Soil physico-chemical properties under six TOF practices (boundary plantation, roadside plantation, riverside plantation, horticulture, scattered patches with clumpy plantation (SPCP), and woodlot) in central region of Kashmir valley were investigated to assess SOC content and soil quality.

Background: Agroforestry (AF) is an ancient tradition in Ethiopian dryland farming system. Several studies have examined system design, soil fertility management and system interactions, but the biodiversity and mitigation aspects of climate change have received less focus. We assessed the diversity of woody species, biomass carbon (C), and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock associated with indigenous dryland AF practices.

Invasive ambrosia beetles are among the most economically important pests of forest and plantation trees world-wide. The development of effective management guidelines for these pests in plantations of high-value hardwood species is hindered by a lack of baseline information regarding their seasonal abundance and dispersal behavior. By analyzing long-term monitoring data from intensively-managed plantations of eastern black walnut (Juglans nigra L.
