An explicit forest carbon stock model and applications by Ningning Zhu, Bisheng Yang, Weishu Gong, Shen Ying, Wenxia Dai, Zhen Dong

“…First, the pixel size, forest canopy density, terrain slope, and forest height were used in the construction of EFM; Second, the EFM parameters were solved by simulated forest scene; Third, the EFM was used in simulated and real forest scenes to verify the accuracy, robustness, and applicability, the experiments show that the relative error is about 15%; Finally, the first time mapping forest carbon stock over 200,000 km2 area at 2 m scale was completed by the EFM. …”

Influence of Thinning on Carbon Balance in Natural Regeneration of <i>Pinus pinaster</i> in Portugal by André Sandim, Domingos Lopes, José Luis Louzada, Maria Emília Silva

“…This study assesses the impact of forest management, focusing on thinning, on carbon accumulation in naturally regenerating maritime pine forests in the municipality of Boticas, Portugal and compares scenarios with and without forest intervention. To simulate forest growth scenarios, the Modispinaster software is used, and through mathematical models adjusted for the species and input of initial field data, it generates scenarios of forest evolution regarding biomass and carbon accumulation. …”
