Abstract

Introduction: Greenhouse gas emissions and destructive environmental crises such as GLOBAL WARMING and CLIMATE CHANGE have been created by human activities in natural ecosystems during this century. Due to this problem, carbon sequestration is a win-win approach with the purpose of reducing of destructive human activities and emissions of GREENHOUSE GASES. Accordingly, this study was carried out in order to assess carbon sequestration with economic value in the Quercus brantii Lindi forest in Kermanshah Province in 2015 to 2016.Materials and methods: Essential data for this research was collected using the on-farm and random sampling methods in two groups, including coppice and single stem forms in an oak forest in Bisetoon Protected Area. Then, the amount of carbon sequestration and its economic value were calculated using the collected data and application of mathematical relations in this forest.Results and discussion: According to the results of this study, the amount of carbon sequestration by trees biomass was 1622.67kgha-1yer-1 in coppice forms. This amount was 1786.47kgha-1yer-1 in a single stem. Therefore, the amount of CO2 captured and saved in wood tissue and residual organic matter in the bottom tree layer was, respectively, 5841.61 and 6431.29 kgha-1yer-1 in coppice and single stem forms. Due to the tax rate applied for every ton of carbon emissions, the annual economic value per hectare of this forest was estimated at 1780856 rials.Conclusion: furthermore, suitable management of oak forest ecosystems in this region under investigation and, subsequently, around the country is very important in order to reduce the existing environmental crisis, through such impacts as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and change climate. On the other hand, due to the importance of CARBON CREDITS and international issues surrounding them, it has a benefit for the recovery and maintenance of these natural ecosystems.
