| Abstract | ||||
| This study was carried out on Eucalyptus gomphocephala trees at age of 22 years, that planted as a boundary plantations in Aly Mubarak research farm belong to South of El-tahrir Research Station- Agriculture Research Center. This aimed to determine biomass, CO2 sequestrated and carbon credit certificates. The total number of trees (344 trees) which in this study was divided into three classes according to dbh measurement. The dbh of class (1) ranged from 31 to 42 cm, class (2) ranged from 22 to 30 cm and class (3) ranged from 18 to 21cm. The average of dry weight of AGB (Above ground biomass) in class (1), (2) and (3) were 851.67 ± 101.35, 440.66 ± 73.29 and 106.6 ±26.5 Kg/tree, respectively. These biomass classes sequestered CO2 of 70.97 ± 8.45, 36.72 ± 6.11 and 8.88 ± 2.21 Kg/tree/y in class (1), (2) and (3), respectively. Total CO2 sequestered for 344 trees of E. gomphocephala as a boundary plantation in the new reclaimed lands was 17.58 ton/year that equal Certified Emission Reduction (CERs). | ||||
