  • Quantitative information on biomass and available nutrients are essential for developing sustainable forest management strategies to regulate atmospheric carbon. An attempt was made at Chilapatta Reserve Forest in Duars region of West Bengal to quantify its above and below ground carbon along with available "N", "P" and "K" in the soil. Stratified random nested quadrats were marked for soil, biomass and litter sampling. Indirect or non-destructive procedures were employed for biomass estimation. The amount of these available nutrients and organic carbon quantified in soil indicates that the forest soil is high in organic carbon and available "K" and medium in phosphorus and nitrogen. The biomass, soil carbon and total carbon (soil C+C in plant biomass) in the forest was 1,995.98, 75.83 and $973.65Mg\;ha^{-1}$. More than 90% of the carbon accumulated in the forest was contributed by the trees. The annual litter production of the forest was $5.37Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Carbon accumulation is intricately linked with site quality factors. The estimated biomass of $1,995.98Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ clearly indicates this. The site quality factor i.e. tropical moist deciduous with optimum availability of soil nutrients, heavy precipitation, high mean monthly relative humidity and optimum temperature range supported luxuriant growth which was realized as higher biomass accumulation and hence higher carbon accumulated.

  • The anchor is used extensively for a cutting slope, an earth retaining wall, an uplift resistance of sub-structures and so on at civil engineering projects and is classified by aim in use, tendon material, and ground/tension fixing type. It can be distinguished extensively into friction type, bearing type, and complex type by ground fixing type. Generally, bond length of friction type anchor has application to 3~10m depending on the friction-resistance characteristics. In this study, 'DEW(double enlargement wedge) bearing type anchor' of new concept is devised. The bond length is about 0.6~0.8m. It can be used on the ground to have the strength characteristics above it of weathered rock. There are merits which are 'period reduction' and 'cost saving' through the minimum of the boring length. In addition, it is so called environmentally friendly Methods because it can reduce the quantity of carbon dioxide through the reducing drilling machine operation time.

  • 충청북도 충주지역의 신갈나무와 굴참나무 천연림 생태계의 탄소 고정량을 allometric 공식을 이용하여 추정한 결과, 다음과 같았다. 충주지역의 탄소 고정량을 추정하는 방정식 모형으로 $Wt=aD^bH^c$$Wt=a(D^2H)^b$$Wt=aD^b$보다 적합하였다. 임분의 biomass 추정에서 지상부 총량은, 신갈나무 임분이 130.58 t/ha 이었고, 굴참나무 임분이 137.38 t/ha 였다. 그리고, 두 임분의 1 년간 생산할 수 있는 총량은 각각 신갈나무 임분의 지상부 총량이 9.96 t/ha/yr, 굴참나무 임분의 지상부 총량이 8.64 t/ha/yr 였다. 탄소의 지상부 총 고정량은 신갈나무 임분이 60.52t C/ha, 굴참나무 임분이 62.22t C/ha 였다. 연간 고정할 수 있는 탄소량은 신갈나무림이 4.78t C/ha/yr, 굴참나무림이 4.28t C/ha/yr 였다. 산림면적 대비 연 탄소방출량이 2.44t C/ha/yr 이었는데, 탄소 고정능력이 방출량 보다 1.84~2.34t C/ha/yr 만큼 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 신갈나무와 굴참나무 천연림 생태계는 환경개선 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 엽이 2.39t C/ha/yr와 1.89t C/ha/yr로, 50%와 44%를 차지하고 있기 때문에 확실한 고정량은 계절에 따라 유동적일 수 있다.

  • An explanatory survey was conducted to assess the contribution of palm species in carbon sequestration in the homegarden of the Sylhet Metropolitan City Corporation of Bangladesh. Assessment was done by means of two stage random sampling. A total of 10 housing area were selected randomly for the study and 4 common palm tree species were found abundantly. From the observations abundance of palm trees [Areca catechu (175/housing area), Cocos nucifera (145/housing area), Borassus flabellifer (124/housing area) and Phoenix sylvestris (27/housing area)] were found higher in all homesteads in comparison with other species. Study revealed that total organic carbon (MTOC mt/ha) was highest in Cocos nucifera (12.48 mt/ha), followed by Areca catechu (4.20 mt/ha), Borassus flabellifer (3.02 mt/ha) and Phoenix sylvestris (0.59 mt/ha). Total amount of organic carbon stored by palm trees in homestead areas was found 20.28 metric ton/ hector in the study area. Study revealed that palm trees of homestead forest accumulate a good amount of biomass and is a good sinker of organic carbon from the atmosphere. Proper management of palm trees will help to improve the local, national and international community through carbon sequestration.

  • Tropical dry forests are one of the most threatened, widely distributed ecosystems in tropics and estimation of forest biomass is a crucial component of global carbon emission estimation. Therefore, the present study was aimed to quantify the biomass and carbon storage in trees on large scale (10, 1 ha plots) in the dry mixed evergreen forest of Javadhu forest of Eastern Ghats. Biomass of adult (≥10 cm DBH) trees was estimated by non-harvest methods. The total biomass of trees in this tropical dry mixed evergreen forest was ranged from 160.02 to 250.8 Mg/ha, with a mean of 202.04±24.64 Mg/ha. Among the 62 tree species enumerated, Memecylon umbellatum accumulated greater biomass and carbon stocks (24.29%) more than the other species in the 10 ha study plots. ANOVA revealed that there existed a significant variation in the total biomass and carbon stock among the three plant types (Evergreen, brevi-deciduous and deciduous (F (2, 17)=15.343, p<0.001). Basal area and density was significant positively correlated with aboveground biomass (R2 0.980; 0.680) while species richness exhibited negative correlation with above ground biomass (R2 0.167). Finding of present study may be interpreted as most of the trees in this forest are yet to be matured and there is a net addition to standing biomass leading to carbon storage.

  • Mixture of $Ni(OH)_2-Mg(OH)_2$ used as the precurs was treated by mechnochemical(MC) and hand grinding process. Carbon nanofibers(CNF) were prepared using CVD process with the above prepared catalyst. CNFs with a uniform diameter were obtained with MC process treated catalyst, and the diameter could be controlled by tuning the grinding time. CNF bundles with close coalescence were produced with MC treated catalyst. After purification of CNFs and loading with Pt, they were used in fuel cell as the cathode catalyst support. The performance with carbon nanofibers prepared using ground mixture was found to be better than that prepared using unground mixture, which is attributed to the homogeneous CNFs with small diameter and specific interaction between Pt and CNFs.

  • 본 연구는 국내에서 대표적으로 이루어지고 있는 녹비작물인 호밀, 트리티케일, 헤어리베치 단파와 트리티케일+헤어리베치 혼파를 대상으로 온실가스인 이산화탄소 저감을 위한 최적의 녹비작물을 선발 하기위하여 수행되었다. 윤작지 녹비작물의 지상부 바이오메스는 트리티케일+헤어리베치 664 kg $10a^{-1}$, 호밀 585 kg $10a^{-1}$, 트리티케일 545 kg $10a^{-1}$이었으며 대조구 대비 트리티케일+헤어리베치 181%, 호밀 160%, 트리티케일 149% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 녹비작물 재배시기 동안 표토의 유기물 함량이 심토보다 높은 경향을 보였다. 토양 유기물 함량은 호밀 처리구에서 가장 높았고 그 다음이 트리티케일+헤어리베치 순으로 나타났다. 지상부 바이오메스 생산량이 많은 호밀, 트리티케일+헤어리베치 재배구에서 가장 높은 유기물 함량을 보인 것은 탄소함량과 C/N율 때문인 것으로 분석 (Wang et al., 2010)되며 C/N율은 토양 탄소와 밀접하게 관련 있으며 바이오메스 품질 (Mirsky et al., 2008)과 바이오메스 분해율을 결정하는 중요한 요인(Kemp et al., 2003) 이므로 본 연구에서 호밀과 트리티케일+헤어리베치는 녹비작물로 바이오메스 생산량도 높고 토양 탄소 함량 증진에도 효과가 높아 이산화탄소 저감에 효과적일 것이다.

  • Organic carbon (OC) distribution in 32-year-old pitch pine plantation at Mt. Hotae in Kongju, Korea, was studied from August 2007 to July 2008. In order to investigate the OC distribution, OC in plant biomass, litterfall, litter layer on forest floor, and soil within 50cm depth were estimated. The density of P. rigida plantation was 3,200 trees/ha, average DBH was $18.7{\pm}5.53cm$ and average tree height was $11.1{\pm}1.85m$. Organic carbon stored in plant biomass, litterlayer on forest floor and soil in 2008 was 89.46 ton C/ha (46.09%), 4.32 ton C/ha (2.23%) and 100.32 ton C $ha^{-1}$ 50cm-$depth^{-1}$ (51.68%), respectively. Amount of OC returned to forest floor via litterfall was 2.21 ton C $ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$. Total amount of OC stored in this P. rigida plantation was 194.1 ton C/ha. Net increase of OC in above- and below-ground biomass in this pitch pine plantation was 4.82 ton C $ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$.
