Carbon stock in the litter on the Skolivski Beskydy territory (Ukrainian Carpathians)
Abstract
Purpose. Investigate the carbon stock in the forest litter in the Skolivski Beskydy (Ukrainian Carpathians), taking into account the mountainous features of the region, and model the regional regression equation for calculating the carbon stock in the litter based on the obtained data.
Methods. Field studies of carbon stock in forest litter by the technique of Skorodumov. Determination of mineral parts and bedding was determined by dry ashing. Mathematical modeling.
Results. The work was carried out on the territory of the Skolivski Beskydy (Ukrainian Carpathians). The selected area provides an opportunity to study the impact of abiotic factors on the formation of carbon stocks in forest litter, as well as to compare these reserves in different types of forest use. As a result of route research, the calculation of the carbon stock in the forest litter on the laid transects of the Skole Beskids was calculated. Carbon reserves were calculated on the basis of eight transects in the Skolivski Beskydy. From the obtained results, we found the dependence of carbon stock in forest litter on the species composition of the stand, exposure, and slope steepness. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to form a regional regression equation for converting data from the state forest cadastre to calculate carbon stocks in the litter, considering the altitude and slope steepness.
Conclusions. The correlation between carbon stock in forest litter and abiotic factors (stand composition, exposure, slope steepness) was revealed, which allowed creating of a regional regression equation for the conversion of state forest cadastre data for carbon stock calculations in forest litter.
