Net CO2 emissions due to land-use change (LUC) resulting from the conversion of natural forest vegetation in Brazil were analyzed over 25 years (1990-2015). Recognized data sources were studied and emission values were compared. Our analysis included LUC emissions over time, which were stratified by biome. In addition, implications for the fulfillment of commitments assumed by Brazil in the Paris Agreement were...
This paper aimed to evaluate the accuracy of taper functions fitted with and without stratification on Pinus sp. trees. Three strata were allocated using diameter at 1.3 m above the ground, artificial form factor and Schiffel’s form quotient as stratification criteria. Schöepfer, Kozak et al. Hradetzky, Garcia et al., Ormerod and Demaerchalk taper functions were tested and the one which best fitted to the total...
