Introduction

About 40% of the earth's tropical and subtropical landmass is dominated by open or closed forest. Of this, 42% is dry forest, 33% is moist forest, and only 25% is wet and rain forest (Murphy and Lugo, 2007). Tropical dry forest is the most widely distributed landcover type in the tropics. As the rate of land-use/land-cover change from forest to pasture or agriculture accelerates worldwide, it is becoming increasingly important to quantify the ecosystem biomass and carbon (Jaramillo et al., 2003).

Careless management can result in significant degradation of vegetation and soil, leading to net carbon losses from the savannas into the atmosphere (Grace et al., 2006). Tropical forests are disappearing at an alarming rate of 13.5 million hectare per year globally (Kobayashi, 2004). Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere due to human activities (Emmerich, 2003). Disturbance in tropical forests includes individual tree processes, landscape level processes, and regional and climate influences. These processes and influences function on different temporal and spatial scales and are variable in the impact they have on tropical forests (Frolking et al., 2009).

The effect of greenhouse gases, especially CO2, on the warming of the atmosphere and the earth is of great importance. For this reason, studies are being conducted on certain measures such as limiting emissions in order to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Forest ecosystems have a significant potential in this respect. Carbon can be stored in the biomass, soil, litter, and coarse woody debris pools in forest ecosystems (Tolunay, 2011). With deforestation and land use change occurring throughout the tropics, improved understanding of these dynamic and complex forests are vital for the development of regional and global carbon budgets (Werth and Avissar, 2002).

According to Worku and Soromessa (2015), estimation of forest biomass is the most accurate and economical way of studying the change in carbon stocks. Studying carbon stocks has the capacity to measure the amount of carbon which accumulated in any

specific forest. Moreover, estimates of biomass are required for assessing the amount of primary energy obtainable from the forests as an alternative to fossil fuels.

For scientific purposes, standing biomass is a fundamental state variable in several ecological and ecophysiological models (Zianis and Mencuccini, 2004). The above-ground biomass consists of stem, branch, and leaf biomass, and the below-ground biomass consists of prop roots and below-ground root biomass (Komiyama et al., 2008). Forest vegetation and soils constitute a major terrestrial carbon pool with the potential to absorb and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The CO2 source and sink dynamics as trees grow, die, and decay are subjected to disturbance and forest management (Kaul et al., 2010). They reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and provide benefit to the global climate (Kort and Turnock, 1999), through the process called photosynthesis. This process is one of the media that carbon passes through in its life cycle and much of the carbon, almost half of the carbon they consumed, is stored in the tissues of a tree (Worku and Soromessa, 2015). Two of the most widely suggested options to sequester carbon in drylands are afforestation (tree planting) and rangeland restoration through grazing exclusion. Ecosystems sequester carbon when their uptake increases and/or their losses decrease (Nosetto et al., 2006).

Rapid, easily implemented methods are needed for the assessment of standing biomass in order to estimate the carbon sequestration by forest ecosystems (Zianis and Mencuccini, 2004). Measurement and calculation of carbon stocks in soil and vegetation of tropical forests should be done accurately to anticipate carbon trading (Suwarna et al., 2012), and is essential to adaptive management under changing climate (Jia et al., 2014).

The carbon cycling in semiarid and arid areas remains largely unexplored, despite the wide distribution of drylands globally. Rehabilitation practices have been carried out in many desertified areas, but information on the C sequestration capacity of recovering vegetation is still largely lacking (Jia et al., 2014).

This paper reports preliminary studies of Diospyros celebica, Eucalyptus urophylla, Tectona grandis and mixed forests to sequester carbon in dry forests of general throughout the world. In this study, we used a dynamic model (CO2FIX version 3.1) of carbon storage in dry forests to investigate the carbon cycle ofD. celebica, E. urophylla, T. grandis and mixed forests. The CO2FIX model has been tested and validated for the forest ecosystem in the Philippines, mixed pine-oak forest of central Mexico, multi-strata agroforestry system, tropical rainforest in Costa Rica, woodlots in Zambia (Kaonga and Smith, 2012) and farmland in Southwestern Ethiopia (Lemma et al., 2007). We avoided the abundant studies focused on fine litter dynamics or soil respiration, although these aspects of carbon cycling would be important for comprehensive review and site comparison of carbon budgets. This study did not examine remote sensing or modeling literature with regard to necromass, although these two approaches may provide fruitful means for estimation and understanding of necromass production and cycling (Frolking et al. 2009).

Methodology

The CO2FIX stand level simulation model is a tool which quantifies the C stocks and fluxes in the forest biomass, the soil organic matter and the wood products chain. The model calculates the carbon balance with a time-step of one year. Basic input is stem

volume growth and allocation pattern to the other tree compartments (foliage, branches and roots) (Schelhaas et al., 2004). The model is divided into three main parts: biomass, soil organic matter and products, and runs with time-steps of 1 year (Fig. 1).

The model produces output in tabular and graphic forms. It allows estimation of the time evolution of total carbon sequestered at the stand level. The total carbon stored in the forest stand at any time (CTt) is considered to be

CTt = Cbt + Cst + Cpt (TCHA-1), where Cbt is the total carbon stored in living (above plus below-ground) biomass at any time t, in metric tonnes per hectare (TCHA-1); cs,, the carbon stored in soil organic matter (t C/ha), and Cpt is the carbon stored in wood products (TCHA-1) (Masera et al., 2003).

The information on dry forest management practices for this study was synthesized from the literature. The dataset of management practices for model simulations consisted of carbon stock, wood density, current annual increment (CAI), growth correction factor, relative growth, mortality and product allocation for thinning harvesting. These kinds of information and their parameters used in CO2FIX are listed in Table 1. In this study, thinning harvesting is one of silviculture treatment scenarios that was applied every 10 years and timber harvesting in year 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 because this is one of strategies for increasing carbon sequestration (Moore et al., 2012).

Choice of rotation length and thinning intensity are commonly used to manage timber yield and carbon stocks of forests. These management practices affect all forms of carbon stocks (i.e., tree, soil and wood products) (Kaul et al., 2010). In 200 years simulated, total C stock had a tendency of increase. All of carbon pools showed very similar patterns from 0 years to 40 years, except on bioenergy. Biomass had the highest value at ages 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 years with 236.89 MGCHA-1, soil at ages 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 years with 235.34, 259.05, 272.92, 283.56, 292.67 MGCHA-1, product at ages 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 with 140.39, 177.91, 200.37, 215.64, 226.75 MGCHA-1 and bioenergy C storage presented a

sustained increase and reached 522.25 MGCHA-1 in the end of the simulated period (Fig. 2).

Simulated carbon stock sequestration differed between the tree species, but the same pattern in each time of simulation (40, 80, 120, 160 and 200). Total carbon stock was increased until the end of the period of simulation. The averages of carbon stock sequestered at time of simulation was 231.85, 75.50, 7.26, 0.73 and 315.34 MGCHA-1 under E. urophylla, T. grandis, D. celebica, mixed woods and total carbon stock, respectively (Fig. 3).

The soil carbon under all species is expected to increase from 0 to 292.67 MGCHA-1 for the 200 year simulation. The soil carbon in E. urophylla during the study period followed the same relative pattern as T. grandis. The measured carbon stock decreased with

time of simulation (Fig. 4). All of the species components showed different contributions to total carbon stock. The contribution of the E. urophylla component in total carbon stock was 77.5% of stem, 8.4% of foliage, 22.5% of branch and 27.4% of root; T. grandis: 41.3% of stem, 0.5% of foliage, 10.9% of branch and 7.7% of root; E. urophylla: 2.54% of stem, 0.28% of foliage, 0.58% of branch and 0.92% of root. However, the mixed wood component in total carbon stock was 0.05% of stem, 0.04% of foliage, 0.01% of branch and 0.13% of root (Fig. 5).

The contribution of the tree species components to total carbon stock was significantly positively correlated (R2 = 0.634-0.882, P <

0.05) with the time simulated in years, except foliage of D. celebica (R2 = 0.301), foliage of T.grandis (R2 = 0.162) and foliage of E. urophylla (R2 = 0.256) (Table 2). The significance of the D. celebica, T. grandis components in the dry forest increased in the order: foliage biomass (FB) < branch biomass (BB) < stem biomass (BB) < root biomass (RB). The significance for the E. urophylla component to total carbon stock increased in the order: foliage biomass (FB) < branch biomass (BB) < stem biomass (SB) < root biomass (RB). However, the mixed wood component significance increased in the order: stem biomass (SB) < branch biomass (BB) < root biomass (RB) < foliage biomass (FB).

The results indicate that among the species studied, E. urophylla has the highest potential to sequester carbon, followed by D. celebica plantations. E. urophylla had the highest carbon stock of all the species. Maybe D. celebica and other species have lower carbon stocks, because water deficits or drought can greatly influence the amount of foliage produced by a stand and consequently have a direct effect upon the fractional interceptance of radiation and thus, net carbon gain and the potential growth rate of the stand. During drier periods, reductions in available soil water result in closure of stomata, which in turn constrains growth of P. radiata and other conifers. While this response to water deficits helps conserve water by limiting evaporative losses, it also reduces carbon dioxide uptake, thereby reducing photosynthetic rate, tree growth and wood production. Many plant traits are related to water uptake including hydraulic conductance, resistance to embolism, leaf to root ratios and root distribution. Water deficits or drought can greatly influence the amount of foliage produced by a stand and consequently have a direct effect upon the fractional interceptance of radiation and thus, net carbon gain and the potential growth rate of the stand (Waghorn et al., 2015).

The distribution of precipitation inputs into different hydrological components of water-limited forest ecosystems determines water availability to trees and consequently forest productivity (Yaseef et al., 2009). This is because, low water availability may also limit ecosystem respiration by reducing root activity, suppressing microbial decomposition of organic matter and restricting the diffusion of extracellular enzymes and C substrates in the soil (Wang et al., 2014).

According to Baishya and Barik (2011), 50-60 cm tree diameter class contributed 27.8% to the total tree aboveground biomass, indicating the important role of this diameter class in carbon storage. The larger trees (>60 cm) contributed 15.8% to the total aboveground biomass. Thus, the large trees together accounted for more than 43% of the total carbon in the tree component. The percentage contribution in north India of total biomass in different components of understory vegetation showed about 55% in stem, 18% in branches, 8% in leaf, and 19% roots (Singh et al., 2011). Fine root production in tropical evergreen forest in India ranged from 1 to 1.17 MGHA-1YR-1 (Vasalakshi, 1994).

In the central highlands of Ethiopia in Northern Shoa Zone, the volume of trimmed small branches had a critical role for determination of density, which was vital for estimation of the total biomass of Juniperus procera and Podocarpus falcatus. The most dominant component of J. procera and P. falcatus are the trunk and large branches which have 82.7% of the total biomass for both species (Worku and Soromessa, 2015).

Biomass contribution varied significantly in rotation length. The 40 years rotation length showed the maximum rate of C input in aboveground biomass. This is because the current annual increment (CAI) reaches the apex period at the age of 40 years and after that the CAI starts declining. It is the point where the CAI culminates and gives highest productivity. In forestry the point where the CAI graphs cross each other and then CAI starts declining is considered as a rotation determination point. The study revealed that at the age of 40 years the rate of input of C stock remained highest and then it starts declining (Fig. 2 and 3).

In India, aboveground biomass was 88% of the total (stem 28%, branch 57% and leaf 3%), indicating that allocation in the roots was below the average of 20% observed in most natural forests. This might be expected due to soil compactness and presence of "Kankar Pan" (a stony layer of CaCO3 gravels) in the subsoil. As a consequence, roots could not spread and proliferate freely (Singh et al., 2011). But, mature plants with well-developed roots exploit a greater soil volume. They can maintain more constant resource uptake and retention during inter-pulse periods, and their survival rates during inter-pulse (drought) times are thus higher (Zimmermann et al., 2010).

Plant litter inputs are the major pathway for the return of organic matter to the soil. In the CO2Fix model, estimates of litter production were used to predict inputs of carbon from vegetation to soil. The measured aboveground litter fall was predominantly composed of leaves (needles) but some twigs also occurred (Lemma et al., 2007). Leaves are one of the most sensitive indices reflecting water deficits for plants and leaf water content directly reflects the water status in plants. Leaf water content decreased from 60% to 59% at suitable level, from 59% to 56% at medium-stressed level and from 59% to 52% at severe-stressed level, respectively. These results showed that during the experimental period from spring to autumn, poplar leaf water content decreased gradually with the season change. The lower

the soil water content, the more the reduction (Liang et al., 2006). The simulated and measured values were in close agreement except for the lower simulated values under Eucalyptus. The lower model estimate for the Eucalyptus stand was related to its attainment of maximum CAI at an earlier age than the other trees and to the presence of some twigs in the measured litter fall (Lemma et al., 2007).

According to Fiorese and Guariso (2013), litter constraint limits the amount of harvested biomass and consequently limits the sequestration and substitution of carbon. If the litter constraint is removed, the estimated greenhouse gas reduction more than doubles (from 290 to 640 KT CO2EQY-1). The amount of harvested biomass increases from about 310 to 630 thousand m3. The decision to safeguard the forest ecosystem by guaranteeing a certain amount of litter quantity has therefore a strong consequence on forest management.

Carbon inputs to the soil via three litter compartments: coarse consisting of stemwood, fine consisting of branches and coarse roots, and non-woody consisting of foliage and fine roots. The rate of carbon input into each compartment is determined by the growth and turnover rates, as well as inputs arising from mortality and slash. Depending on its chemical composition, litter is partitioned into one of three subsequent compartments: soluble compounds, holocellulose, and lignin-like compounds. In addition to these compartments, there are two humus compartments, which receive inputs from the coarse woody litter as well as the faster decomposing compounds (Bailis, 2009).

In this study, data on nutrient content ofD. celebica, E. urophylla, T. grandis and mixed wood litters showed that the lignin content of these litters does not vary significantly. Environmental controls on litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems are fundamentally related to differences in litter quality (e.g., element concentration in tissues) and local climate (temperature, precipitation). These two factors modulate microbial (and other decomposers) activity and thus mediate the processing of organic matter and the rates of internal ecosystem nutrient cycling (Aber et al., 1990). Tropical plants play a vital role in controlling nutrient losses. Plants act as source of nutrients (deposition of litter) and sink of nutrients by increasing nutrient sequestration when they are more available. Higher tree biomass could provide more litter, resulting in a positive relationship between biomass and nutrients; higher biomass could also be the result of more nutrient availability. Plants have the potential to affect nutrient levels, to which they respond (de Castilho et al., 2006).

Soil organic carbon (SOC) also plays a very significant role in the global carbon cycle, as it is the largest terrestrial carbon pool (Kaul et al., 2010). In this study, soil carbon is expected to increase from 0 to 292.67 MGCHA-1 for the 200 year simulation. In global pattern, belowground biomass was 10-45 MGCHA-1 for dry tropical forest and 11-135 MGCHA-1 for tropical wet forest (Murphy and Lugo, 1986b).

As comparision materials, in Mozambique, soil carbon dominated the total, contributing 76.2 TCHA-1 (70%). Woody biomass totalled 33.3 TCHA-1 (30%), dominated by tree biomass (29.7 tC/ha). The division between soil carbon and total carbon stocks in Nambia (70% in soil) is similar to the 60 percent for Malawian miombo (Ryan et al., 2010). In the forests of Turkey 2251.26 TG C was in 2004. Of that total carbon stock, 74.8% was in soil, 21.3% in living tree biomass, and 3.9% in litter and dead wood (Tolunay, 2011). According to Magalhaes and Seifert (2015), total tree biomass in mecrusse woodlands in Mozambique was approximately 25% higher than above ground biomass. The root system, stem, and crown observed biomass densities of29.62, 84.57, and 36.55 MGCHA-1, respectively. Stem biomass density accounted for approximately 70% of above-ground biomass and 56% of the total tree biomass density.

Measuring the CO2 absorbed by plants can be identified by converting the carbon content obtained by a conversion factor of 3.67 obtained from the ratio of atomic and molecular weight (Agus et al., 2011). We can note (Fig. 5) that the greater biomass and carbon reserves of natural gas reserves of CO2 will also increase. It can be concluded that sample species have a great impact on carbon stocks and it shows how the carbon content changes with time. The simulati-

ons indicate that the long-term total CO2 equivalent ranges from 0 to 3819.44 MGCO2EQUIVALENTHA-1.

To assess the potential of additional carbon sequestration by forest management as part of climate change mitigation strategies, it is necessary to understand the carbon storage in forest biomass, soil and wood products, and the interactions between these compartments. Forest management interferes with carbon storage through choice of rotation length, thinning intensity, stand density and spacing, and silvicultural practices such as coppicing and soil preparation etc., and may cause both increases and decreases in carbon stocks in forest biomass. For a proper evaluation of the potential for carbon storage, it is important to distinguish these options in relation to species and silvicultural treatment (Kaul et al., 2010).

Our estimate of carbon stock for all the species is highest at the rotation of 40 years because at this age, the rate of increment in the biomass of the tree is maximized and then gradually will decrease due to gradual decrease in CAI of tree biomass. For each sample of species it is possible to know the maximum capacity for absorbing carbon and its change with the time of simulation. Aboveground biomass and wood specific gravity are important parameters for characterizing forest ecosystems and they are needed to assess the limits to potential production of tropical forests (Mani and Parthasa-rathy, 2007). However, future studies should include detailed examination on each component of carbon fluxes, especially the dynamics of the below-ground fraction including fine-roots (Komiyama et al., 2008) and must be considered when attempting to understand, and eventually predict, the effects of humans on global ecosystems (Williams et al., 2005).
