The data and analyses presented support the research article entitled “Coupling partial-equilibrium and dynamic biogenic carbon models to assess future transport scenarios in France” (Albers et al., 2019). Carbon sequestration and storage in forestry products (e.g. transport fuels) is sought as a climate change mitigation option. The data presented support and inform dynamic modelling approaches to predict biomass growth and carbon fixation dynamics, of a tree or forest stand, over specific rotation lengths. Data consists of species-specific yield tables, parameters for non-linear growth models and allometric equations. Non-linear growth models and allometric equations are listed and described. National statistics and surveys of the wood supply chain serve to identify main tree species, standing wood volumes and distributions within specific geographies; here corresponding to managed forests in France. All necessary data and methods for the computation of the annual fixation flows are presented. Keywords: Biogenic carbon modelling, Carbon fixation, Forestry biomass, Non-linear growth

A indústria florestal produz resíduos com características e potenciais de utilização muito distintos. Por um lado, a queima de biomassa florestal para obtenção de energia conduz à produção de grandes quantidades de cinzas como produto final e, por outro lado, durante o processo de produção da pasta de papel e na sequência do tratamento por causticação é também produzido um resíduo em quantidades significativas. O objectivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial fertilizante destes dois resíduos, ou seja, das cinzas provenientes da incineração de biomassa florestal e das cinzas provenientes da causticação da pasta de papel, resíduos provenientes da indústria florestal. Num ensaio em vasos estudou-se a resposta do azevém à aplicação de doses crescentes destes resíduos que corresponderiam à aplicação ao solo de 0, 0,5, 1, 3 e 5 toneladas por ha. Verificou-se que a cinza de biomassa florestal pode ser aplicada ao solo, não se observando efeitos negativos na produção ou propriedades do solo. Esta aplicação conduzirá ao fornecimento de alguns nutrientes, nomeadamente K e Ca. Em solos com relação Ca/Mg elevada aconselha-se a aplicação simultânea de Mg. O resíduo proveniente da causticação da pasta de papel, deve ser incorporado no solo com antecedência relativamente à sementeira devido à sua causticidade. Nas culturas plurianuais não deverá ser utilizado. Apresentou valor como correctivo alcalinizante, possuindo elevado teor em Na que conduziu a um aumento significativo da condutividade eléctrica e do Na de troca, não se aconselhando uma aplicação em quantidades superiores a 1 t/ha., Revista de Ciências Agrárias, vol. 33 n.º 2 (2010)

Las áreas naturales protegidas representan una de las estrategias para la mitigación del cambio climático. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en estimar el contenido de carbono en biomasa forestal en suelos minerales y calcular las pérdidas de carbono por cambios de uso del suelo en el Parque Nacional Malinche (PNM). La superficie de bosque del PNM es de 17.496,34 ha y almacena 1.544.377,66 mg en bosque y 4.148.985,97 mg en suelos. Para estimar el contenido de biomasa forestal se aplicaron ecuaciones alométricas y se trabajó con la cartografía del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) en el análisis espacio-temporal de los cambios de uso de suelo.

he objective of this research was to evaluate torrified and fresh pellets produced from Pinus waste wood, used for direct generation of thermal energy. The compaction of Pinus sp. waste wood from lumbermill was performed in a pelletizer with a planar array of 8 mm. Roastings were performed in an electric furnace, type muffle, stabilized at final temperatures of 220 °C and 250 °C for 30 min. The following pellets properties were determined: apparent and unit energy density, bulk density, energy bulk density, immediate chemical composition (volatile materials, ash and fixed carbon), high heating value and moisture. It was observed an increase in high heating value and reduction of moisture content of torrified pellets. However, the gain in calorific value was less than the mass loss of the pellets after roasting, reducing the energy densities of the pellets. The pellets raw have marketing potential in European countries such as Germany, Austria and Sweden. The methodology used for roasting is not suitable for pellets heat treatment. However, further research on pellet roasting in a wider temperature and residence time range is recommended, in order to define parameters that optimize their energetic properties. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar pellets torrificados e in natura,produzidos a partir da madeira residual de Pinus, destinados ao uso bioenergético. A compactação da madeira residual de Pinus sp. oriunda de serraria foi realizada em uma peletizadora com matriz plana de 8 mm. As torrefações foram realizadas em forno elétrico, tipo mufla, estabilizado em temperaturas finais de 220 °C e 250 °C por 30 min. Foram determinadas as seguintes propriedades nos pellets: densidades aparente e energética unitárias, densidades a granel e energética do granel, composição química imediata (materiais voláteis, cinzas e carbono fixo), poder calorífico superior e umidade. Observou-se aumento do poder calorífico superior e redução do teor de umidade nos pellets torrificados, contudo, o ganho em valor calórico foi inferior à perda de massa dos pellets após a torrefação, reduzindo assim a densidade energética dos pellets. Os pellets in natura apresentam potencial de comercialização em países europeus, como Alemanha, Áustria e Suécia. A metodologia utilizada para torrefação não é indicada para o tratamento térmico de pellets. Porém, recomendam-se novas pesquisas sobre torrefação de pellets em uma faixa mais ampla de temperatura e tempo de residência, visando determinar parâmetros que otimizem as propriedade energéticas.

Devant les effets inévitables d'une exploitation minière et monovalente des forêts du Québec méridional, du moins jusqu'à récemment, il devient urgent d'explorer et de gérer plus humainement et plus naturellement l'écoumène forestier et agro-forestier entourant les régions ressources. C'est l'ambition de cet article de proposer une utilisation beaucoup plus judicieuse de la biomasse forestière par le vecteur privilégié de la planification stratégique régionale. D'abord approfondie dans sa dimension théorique, on tentera d'opérationnaliser cette planification dans un scénario alternatif pour l'horizon 2010, utilisant comme matière première la vingtaine de filières de transformation possibles de la biomasse forestière. On décomposera ce scénario jusqu'à la structure d'action prévue pour l'an 2010., Before the unvoidable effects of a monovalent and mining type of forest exploitation in Southern Québec, at least until recently, it becomes urgent to explore and manage more humanly and naturally the forestry and agro-forestry hinterland surrounding resources regions. This paper suggests a much more rational use of forestry biomass, by the privileged way of regional strategic planification. First explained in its theoretical dimension, this explanation is made operational by an alternative scenario for the year 2010, using some 20 ways of processing raw material of the forestry biomass. This scenario is then examined into its major components, up to the operational structure, forecast for this rime period.

This study focuses on an evaluation of Hokkaido which is the northernmost and largest prefecture by surface area in Japan and particularly on two points: the rivalry between all kinds of land use such as urban land and agricultural and forestry land in various cities and their surrounding areas and the possibilities for forestry biomass in areas other than those mentioned above and grasps which areas require examination of the nature of land use control and guidance through conducting land use analysis at the district level using GIS (Geographic Information Systems). The results of analysis in this study demonstrated that it is essential to divide the whole of Hokkaido into two areas: those within delineated city planning areas and those outside of delineated city planning areas and to conduct an evaluation of each land use control. In delineated urban areas, particularly urban areas, it is essential to re-examine land use from the point of view of compact cities or smart cities along with conducting an evaluation of land use control that focuses on issues of rivalry between all kinds of land use such as urban land and agricultural and forestry land. In areas outside of delineated urban areas, it is desirable to aim to build a specific community recycling range based on forest biomass utilization by conducting an evaluation of land use control concerning the possibilities for forest biomass focusing particularly on forests within and outside of city planning areas., {"references":["Land Use Research Group Compilation (1999) Quick Guide to the\nNational Land Use Planning Act, Taisei Publishing, 134p.","Mizuguchi T.(1997) Land Use Plans and Town Planning - From\nControl and Guidance to Planning Discussions-, Gakugei Shuppansha,\n366p.","Satake G.

Several issues, related with forest fires, forest disturbances (Garcia-Martin et al., 2008), forest productivity (Chirici et al., 2007; Palmer et al., 2009), forest changes over time (Hu & Wang, 2008), or the role of forests in the global carbon balance cycle (Hese et al., 2005) are, nowadays, the focus of numerous studies and investigations. All these subjects demand the knowledge about aboveground biomass (AGB) stocks and/or its dynamics. Besides the availability of biomass, the information about the growth of forests is of increasing importance. This variable, which is related with the total biomass growth in a specific ecosystem, is called Net Primary Production (NPP). Annual NPP represents the net amount of carbon captured by plants through photosynthesis each year (Melillo et al., 1993; Cao & Woodward, 1998). In practice, NPP can be defined and measured in terms of either biomass or CO2 exchange (Field et al., 1995). Waring et al. (1998) define NPP as the sum of live biomass periodic increment (ΔB) and dead biomass (losses, e.g. broken branches, fallen leaves) [NPP = ΔB + losses]. NPP is an important ecological variable due to its relevance for accurate ecosystem management and for monitoring the impact of human activity on ecosystems vegetation at a range of spatial scales: local, regional and global (Melillo et al., 1993). It is one of the most complete and complex variables, since it reflects the growth of the entire ecosystem thus avoiding the analysis of only part of its components. NPP provides a complete view of the ecosystem including information, not only from the arboreal stratum, but also from the shrubs and all the litter produced from each stratum. Thus, the significance of NPP not only reflects the complexity of its measurement or estimation, but also its integrative ecological perspective ecosystems. Mapping AGB stocks or NPP with the utmost accuracy and expedite methodologies is therefore a challenge. The need of continuous maps where the phenomenon under study can be individually analysed or used as auxiliary variable in a specific model requires that the spatial predictions are represented in the most accurate way. Over the years different spatial prediction methods have been explored in diverse data type (Isaaks & Srivastava, 1989; Goovaerts, 1997; Labrecque et al., 2006; Sales et al., 2007; Meng et al., 2009). Some approaches have a simple application methodology however others are sometimes complex in what concerns to their implementation, or the selection of the variables to be used.

In this paper we used high resolution satellite imagery in order to study the Pordenone Mountain forests (Friuli Venezia Giulia - North-East of Italy). Our aim is to develop a method able to estimate wood biomass using a vegetation index (NDVI – Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). In order to do this we analysed a Quickbird satellite image, dated 24 June 2003, and we compared our results with biomass data in weight, cut from two small forest areas.
