Above- and below-ground biomass, surface and volume, and stored water in a mature Scots pine stand
Original language description
This study describes the amount and the spatial distribution of the above- and below-ground tree skeleton-defined as the woody structure of stem, branches and roots-in a mature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand in Belgium. Tree skeleton data were linked to the respective needle area, and as such, this work provides the background framework for modeling the tree hydraulic architecture and the carbon balance of the forest stand. Using validated allometric equations, we were able to calculate the amount of the volume, of the biomass and of the corresponding surface areas of individual trees in the stand. Total woody biomass of the 66-year-old forest stand was 155 Mg ha(-1), i.e., 126 Mg ha(-1) above ground and 29 Mg ha(-1) below ground. The total bio-volume of the woody mass of the stand was 314 m(3) ha(-1). The highest fraction of this value was the stem bio-volume, i.e., 236 m(3) ha(-1) or 75 % of the total. The total volume of all roots was 57 m(3) ha(-1) (18 % of the total volume
