Bamboo Forest:
Introduction
An important and special forest type Growing fast, having good economic and ecological values Playing an important role in promoting rural development,
and has a strong capacity of fixing CO2 as well
Since 2001, studies on bamboo forest carbon sequestration have been continually carried out by our research group.

1 Bamboo forest resources distribution and utilization
150 genus and more than 1,200 species worldwide , bamboo forests cover 20 million ha, accounting for 1% of total forest area in the world, called “the second largest forest resource” in the world.
Three main bamboo forest areas ： Asia-Pacific region, South America and Africa
1.1 Distribution of bamboo forest
Distribution of Bamboo forest in China
In China: 34 genus, 534 species (40% of total bamboo species)
Bamboo forest area: 6.01 million ha (30% of total bamboo forest in worldwide), including 4.32 million ha of Moso bamboo forest.
Four main bamboo forest regions, including 15 provinces such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan etc.
Bamboo is being widely used for: plywood, flooring, furniture, fibre ,arts and crafts, charcoal etc.
More than 2,000 bamboo products were produced in China, total output value of bamboo industry: 167 billion in 2013

carbon transfer of bamboo forest/
carbon sequestration capability/
Botanically, bamboo is a grass, and not a treebamboo grows comparably faster one of the →
fastest growing/most renewable forest resources/plants in the world
bamboo: up to 13 m high, growth up to 0.3 meter/day and reaches final height/ within 2 months
Different characteristics than trees
2.1 Carbon accumulation during growth process of moso bamboo
Video 1 : Bamboo grows
Video 2 : Bamboo forest grows
New-shoot bamboo has a strong capability of carbon storage, the carbon fixed in the first 6 months accounts for 88.8% of total carbon that fixed in the first year.
Bamboo growth height curve Carbon accumulation curve
When the bamboo leaf starts to appear, the young bamboo has strong photosynthesis capability for carbon fixation (Max. net photosynthetic rate: 12.95 μmol m-2 s-1)
Each year, there are two peaks (May and October). For the bamboo plants with 5 year age, they still have strong photosynthetic efficiency.

Rhizome system allows simultaneous biomass →extraction (harvesting old bamboo) & carbon storage (growing new bamboo shoot)
Ecosystem survives hundreds, but individual culms die after around 13 years
2.7 Carbon transfer of bamboo forest
Bamboo forest ecosystem Rhizome system
The single bamboo grows in 6 year and was allowed to mature, and then be cut off .
Bamboo forest is a uneven-aged forest. The harvest is taken every two years.
In this way, carbon transfers form bamboo forest to bamboo board , to products.

Bamboo containing abundant phytolith. Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) plays an important role in soil carbon sequestration, as it can be kept in soil for a long time (thousands years).
PhytOC is mainly kept in leaves (approx. 60%). The average PhytOC storage in bamboo forest soil is 1 .56 t·hm-2 .
Phytolith-occluded carbon accounts for about 30% from bamboo forest in China.
2.8 Phytolith-occluded carbon in bamboo forest
Annual carbon sequestration rate of China's bamboo forests and world's bamboo
Organic carbon in phytolith Formation and Accumulation mechanism of PhytOC
The PhytOC accumulation rates of moso and lei bamboo forest soils were 0.06 t C ha-1 yr-1 and 0.079 t C ha-1 yr-1 , respectively, which were higher than the average accumulation rate of timber forest soils(0.024 t C ha-1 yr-1 ), indicating that PhytOC is the main way to sequester carbon in bamboo forest soils.
The mulch can significantly improve PhytOC accumulation rate in soil. After 20 years, the PhytOC in soil increased by 1.58 t C ha-1.

Spatial-temporal variation of carbon storage of moso bamboo forest in Anji County （ 1986 ～ 2008 ）
“Bamboo Afforestation Methodology for Verified Carbon Reduction” was developed by ZAFU, INBAR and CGCF. On 25 Oct. 2013, NDRC (National Development and Reform Commission ,PRC) officially endorsed the methodology
3.6 Development of carbon accounting methodology for bamboo forest
The development of this methodology was based on the above researches, and lessons learned from a CGCF-funded moso bamboo carbon afforestation pilot project in 2008 in Linan county, Zhejiang province, China.
In addition, the methodology also draws on relevant international standards and regulations.
The carbon credit produced by the pilot project was purchased by Alibaba Company in Nov. 2011.

Guide farmers to join in bamboo carbon action The farmers managed the bamboo forest in southern Chinese forest
region: small-scale, numerous In 2013, 42 farmers were selected in the experimental project. Total
area:256.5hm2; 22,000 t CO2-e emission reduction by carbon sink forest in 20 years
In 2014.10, farmers obtained additional benefit by trading carbon credit at a price of 30 RMB/T.
