30-yr tree upper-cut carbon stock: 4.81 t-C ha-1 28-29-yr tree lower-cut carbon stock: 14.0 t-C ha-1 28-29-yr tree belowground carbon stock: 12.5 t-C ha-1 30-yr tree total carbon stock: 31.3 t-C ha-1
What they said
“The total carbon stock of a standard-height 30-year-old tea tree was estimated at 31.3 t-C per hectare.”
標準的な樹高の30年生茶樹における炭素ストック量は31.3 t-C ha-1と推定された。
“The belowground carbon stock was significantly larger in 40-year-old trees than in 28-29-year-old trees.”
地下部については28-29年生に比べて40年生の方が有意に大きかった。
