Abstract:

Tectona grandis plantations are generally managed for timber production and presently there is an increasing interest in understanding the carbon stocks of Teak plantations. The study was developed on carbon yield table for Teak in Rangamati, Bangladesh. In the study high-density UAV LiDAR field data was taken from 48.38 hectares in 44 sample plots and the leave size determined the 30 cm × 30 cm size in an average lifetime was 40 years. The average tree height and diameter respectively 11 meters and 35.70 cm from ground level to top height were measured. Approximately 9.94 Mt ha-¹ of biomass are estimated based on the allometric equation Y=exp{-2.4090+0.9522 ln(D^2*H*S)} and approximately 4.96 Mt ha-¹ of Carbon Stock in sample plots. The carbon yield table was constructed using the age, top height class and diameter class. The overall observation of the study concluded that the best-fit carbon yield models were developed for T. grandis with 85 percent accuracy by comparing actual carbon stock and predicted carbon stock.
