Description

"We investigated whether plots established for the Thames Coast Flood Protection Project (TCFPP) could also be used to estimate the impact of herbivores on carbon storage in warm- temperate secondary forests. To establish baseline whole-ecosystem carbon stocks, in 2008/09 we measured coarse woody debris, forest floor and soil carbon pools of 32 permanent forest plots and eight paired exclosure and control plots (20 x 20 m) that had been established in 2005/06. To estimate total carbon stock at the initiation of intensive herbivore control, we combined these data with stem measurements collected at the time of plot establishment. Total carbon stocks (216.3 ± 9.7 t C/ha) in each of five pools were estimated to be: above-ground live--74.7 ± 5.3 t C/ha; below- ground--18.7 t C/ha; coarse woody debris--10.3 ± 1.9 t C/ha; forest floor (fine woody debris + litter + fermentation-humic horizon)--18.8 ± 1.7 t C/ha; and soil (0-30 cm)--93.9 ± 4.3 t C/ha. To provide guidance for future studies, we also conducted a power analysis investigating a range of plausible effect sizes and background variability. Our results indicate that the current plot design is capable of detecting only extremely large (=> 200%) differences in sequestration rates and will be unable to attribute any changes detected to decreased herbivory unless suitable reference plots can be identified. Future studies of carbon storage in forests should be designed as landscape-scale manipulations with appropriate non-treatment plots and will likely require more plots than are required for studies of tree growth or vegetation composition"--Page 1.
