This study was carried out in a bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) plantation (8 ´ 6 m spacing) at the forestry research farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India, during 2018–19. The average population of bamboo was 33.38 culms per clumps during July 2018 after 8 months bamboo population was 45.0 culms per clumps during March 2019. The girth of clump was measured 5.66 m during March 2019. The average bamboo height was 8.35 ± 0.54 m and diameter 3.56 ± 0.77 cm at the third internode. The emerging number of new culms per clump was recorded highest in August (5.25 ± 1.91) and lowest in October (0.25 ± 0.45) with no emer­ging new culms per clumps during November to March. The total biomass, carbon storage and carbon dioxide release abatement were estimated as 63.85 Mg ha–1, 30.01 Mg ha–1 and 110.13 Mg CO2 eq ha–1 respectively.

Abstract


This study was carried out in a bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus) plantation (8 ´ 6 m spacing) at the forestry research farm of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India, during 2018–19. The average population of bamboo was 33.38 culms per clumps during July 2018 after 8 months bamboo population was 45.0 culms per clumps during March 2019. The girth of clump was measured 5.66 m during March 2019. The average bamboo height was 8.35 ± 0.54 m and diameter 3.56 ± 0.77 cm at the third internode. The emerging number of new culms per clump was recorded highest in August (5.25 ± 1.91) and lowest in October (0.25 ± 0.45) with no emer­ging new culms per clumps during November to March. The total biomass, carbon storage and carbon dioxide release abatement were estimated as 63.85 Mg ha–1, 30.01 Mg ha–1 and 110.13 Mg CO2 eq ha–1 respectively.
