Hook] is one of the most important plantation tree species in subtropical China, accounting for about 21 % of China’s total forest plantation area. Although many studies have been conducted in Chinese fir plantations, uncertainties remain regarding its potential and dynamics to sequestrate carbon as a function of stand type, stand age and management. In this study, we applied tree ring analysis as a retrospective tool to study tree- and stand-level aboveground biomass (AGB) dynamics in a 17-year old Chinese fir plantation in Shitai County, Anhui Province, China. A total of 18 trees from different dominance classes were felled for the stem analyses: 6 dominant, 6 co-dominant and 6 suppressed trees. The stem analyses showed that as expected the annual increments of dbh and AGB were significantly higher for dominant trees than those for co-dominant and suppressed trees. Total stand-level AGB increased from 1.85 t ha−1 at age 3 years to 108.12 t ha−1 at age 17 years. Splitting the stand into dominance classes, tree analysis was useful to explain variation of the stand-level AGB and provided more detailed information about the growth dynamics of the stands. Tree ring analyses offer a viable and efficient approach to retrospectively study tree growth and AGB accumulation dynamics in Chinese fir plantations. In the studied stand under the given management regime, a rotation period of 17 years would optizimise AGB productivity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s11056-015-9518-0"],["dc.identifier.fs","622632"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/10568"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.eissn","1573-5095"],["dc.relation.issn","0169-4286"],["dc.title","Estimation of stand-level aboveground biomass dynamics using tree ring analysis in a Chinese fir plantation in Shitai County, Anhui Province, China"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","unknown"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The UNFCCC published a guideline to evaluate the appropriateness of biomass models before application, but it misleads the concept of model suitability and does also allow the selection of models with systematic deviations in the predictions. Here we present an alternative approach based on non-parametric techniques. The approach was tested for pure stands, but this methodology is likewise applicable to mixed forests. The proposed tests perform well in rejecting a model if the predictions for the targeted population are systematically deviant. It is demonstrated that the suitability of an allometric model is a matter of accuracy. The proposed method also allows localizing the model. The presented approach can improve the transparency of global forest monitoring systems and can be implemented with relatively small effort."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.envsoft.2015.07.019"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149279"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5938"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Kleinn Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation","SFB 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien)"],["dc.relation","SFB 990 | B | B05: Land use patterns in Jambi - quantification of structure, heterogeneity and changes of vegetation and land use as a basis for the explanation of ecological and socioeconomic functions"],["dc.relation.issn","1364-8152"],["dc.subject.gro","sfb990_journalarticles"],["dc.title","On the site-level suitability of biomass models"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

It covers an area of 8.54 million hectare, which corresponds to 21% of the total plantation area and 32% of total plantation volume in China. With the increasing market demand, an accurate estimation and prediction of merchantable volume at tree-and stand-level is becoming important for plantation owners. Although there are many studies on the total tree volume estimation from allometric models, these allometric models cannot predict tree-and stand-level merchantable volume at any merchantable height, and the stand-level merchantable volume model was not seen yet in Chinese fir plantations. This study aimed to develop (1) a compatible taper function for tree-level merchantable volume estimation, and (2) a stand-level merchantable volume model for Chinese fir plantations. This \"taper function system\" consisted in a taper function, a merchantable volume equation and a total tree volume equation. 46 Chinese fir trees were felled to develop the taper function in Shitai County, Anhui province, China. A second-order continuous autoregressive error structure corrected the inherent serial autocorrelation of different observations in one tree. The taper function and volume equations were fitted simultaneously after autocorrelation correction. The compatible taper function fitted well to our data and had very good performances in diameter and total tree volume prediction. The stand-level merchantable volume equation based on the ratio approach was developed using basal area, dominant height, quadratic mean diameter and top diameter (ranging from 0 to 30 cm) as independent variables. At last, a total stand-level volume table using stand basal area and dominant height as variables was proposed for local forest managers to simplify the stand volume estimation."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2016"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0147610"],["dc.identifier.isi","000368655300130"],["dc.identifier.pmid","26799399"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12850"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/41625"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights.access","openAccess"],["dc.title","Development of a Compatible Taper Function and Stand-Level Merchantable Volume Model for Chinese Fir Plantations"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Even though Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata [Lamb.] Hook) covers the largest area in China’s plantations with an area of 8.54 million ha, there is no management tool for optimization of different management regimes. In this study, SDMDs, generated from common one-time inventory data, provided information about the evolution of quadratic mean diameter, stand volume, stem and above ground biomass with stand development for the widely planted Chinese fir plantations in southern China. A system of four equations was fitted simultaneously to data collected from 74 inventory plots. Relative spacing index was used to characterize the growing stock.

However, the biomass dynamics of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Castanopsis sclerophylla using the generalized algebraic difference approach (GADA) model has not been made to date. This study aimed to quantify aboveground biomass (AGB, including stem, branch and leaf biomass) dynamics and AGB increment in C. lanceolata and C. sclerophylla forests by combining a GADA for diameter prediction with allometric biomass models. A total of 12 plots for a C. lanceolata plantation and 11 plots for a C. sclerophylla forest were selected randomly from a 100 m × 100 m systematic grid placed over the study area. GADA model was developed based on tree ring data for each stand. GADA models performed well for diameter prediction and successfully predicted AGB dynamics for both stands. The mean AGB of the C. lanceolata stand ranged from 69.4 ± 7.7 Mg ha−1 in 2010 to 102.5 ± 11.4 Mg ha−1 in 2013, compared to 136.9 ± 7.0 Mg ha−1 in 2010 to 154.8 ± 8.0 Mg ha−1 in 2013 for C. sclerophylla. The stem was the main component of AGB stocks and production. Significantly higher production efficiency (stem production/leaf area index) and AGB increment was observed for C. lancolata compared to C. sclerophylla. Dynamic GADA models could overcome the limitations posed by within-stand competition and limited biometric data, can be applied to study AGB dynamics and AGB increment, and contribute to improving our understanding of net primary production and carbon sequestration dynamics in forest ecosystems."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s13595-016-0603-0"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149268"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/5926"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Kleinn Crossref Import"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","chake"],["dc.relation.issn","1286-4560"],["dc.title","A generalized algebraic difference approach allows an improved estimation of aboveground biomass dynamics of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Castanopsis sclerophylla forests"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
