EFFECTS OF THINNING FREQUENCY ON BIOMASS AND SOIL ORGANIC CARBON STOCK OF CUPRESSUS LUSITANICA PLANTATIONS IN CENTRAL HIGHLAND, ETHIOPIA
Abstract
Plantation forests can capture and retain carbon in their biomass and soil over time. However, an unregulated harvest of a plantation would result in biomass and carbon removal from the site. So, appropriate management of plantation forests is important to enhance the carbon sink and hence, climate change mitigation. The general objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thinning frequency on biomass and soil organic carbon stocks of Cupressus Lusitania plantations in Central highland, Ethiopia.
