Abstract


This study aims to determine the biomass of Acacia auriculiformis planted and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) at ages 1,3,5,7 planted in 4 communes of Thach Thanh district, Thanh Hoa Province. The study calculated the total fresh biomass, dry biomass, carbon reserves and CO2 absorption capacity of Acacia auriculiformis forests in the study area.  Results from the study showed that Acacia auriculiformis trees from the age of 1 to 7 years old had fresh biomass ranging from 16.3 to 85.9 kg/tree and dry biomass was from 14.23 to 77.21 kg/tree. Each hectare of Acacia auriculiformis leaves grown from age 1 to age 7 absorbs about 41.5 to 180.22 tons of CO2/ha, the carbon absorption value is very high from 118.29 to 513.62 USD/ha. In addition, the carbon content in the soil under the canopy of Acacia auriculiformis forests from age 1 to age 7 is also very high, from 38.78  to 68.85 tons C/ha.

Keywords
