Spatial differentiation of C sequestration in forests either at the national or at the regional scale is therefore needed for forest planning purposes.
This study examines vegetation, carbon sequestration, and spatial and temporal changes of green space at the premises of the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL).
The spatial distribution of carbon sequestration was affected by the policies during urbanization, which caused the shrink and fragmentation before 2000 and the recovery of the high carbon sequestration area after 2000.
In another study, an alternative approach was introduced to map the spatial differentiation of C sequestration in North Rhine-Westphalia based on the combination of geostatistics, decision tree analyses and GIS techniques.
In the last 30 years, a number of large-scale multi-ecological projects have been implemented on the Chinese Loess Plateau, where there has been a significant trend toward ecological restoration, which will certainly affect the spatial distribution of soil cabon sequestration.
Only for the residuals of regression model for the C sequestration in the humus layer spatial autocorrelation could be detected (nugget to sill ratio = 0.76).
Hence, this study proposes a spatial forest-thinning planning problem involving carbon sequestration and emissions, which determine forest-thinning schedules over a planning period so that the total thinned timber volume over the period and the revenue from carbon sequestration and emissions can be maximized under certain spatial constraints.
The description of this spatial organization and the inherent secretion and sequestration of metabolites not only provide new insight into alkaloid cell biology and its involvement in plant defense processes but also present new biotechnological challenges for synthetic biology.
This spatial relation could underlie the process of sequestration of factors away from their targets (Yao et al., 2011), which would occur only with compact explorers.
As society attempts to manage forests as sinks to offset anthropogenic increases in atmospheric carbon, there has been an effort to understand how human and natural disturbances impact forest carbon stocks at spatial and time scales important to carbon sequestration.
