Wpływ grzybów rozkładających korzenie drzew leśnych na uwalnianie CO2 - próba waloryzacji

On the basis of literature data and own research, algorithms for the calculation of the amount of released CO2 and C per hectare per year were developed taking into consideration 1) the share of trees infected by root pathogens in 80−year−old pine stands, 2) the weight of tree roots, 3) the share of cellulose in the wood of roots and 4) the loss of cellulose degraded by fungi. The developed model after transformations contains only a) the merchantable timber volume of trees per hectare to be harvested based on measurements or SILP database and b) the area of occurrence of fungi causing wood decay in roots and stumps (here: Heterobasidion spp., Armillaria spp. and Phlebiopsis gigantea). These data can also provide estimates of the level of carbon sequestration in the non−infested forest stands.
