What is Forest phytomass and carbon in European Russia about?

Regression equations for fractions of forest phytomass have been developed for European Russia (including the Urals). These equations are based on available data and findings given in publications (962 sample plots have been examined). The analyses cover pine, spruce, oak, birch, beech, aspen, alder, and lime species. Together these eight species constitute some 95% of the tree cover of the forested areas in European Russia. The equations allow us to evaluate the ratio between the weight of phytomass fractions and growing stock by species, age classes, and site indices. Application of the phytomass results to the Forest State Account (FSA) data 0988) gives an estimate of a total (living) phytomass in the forest ecosystems of forested areas of European Russia (166 million hectares of forested area, 20.28 billion m 3 of growing stock) of 15.47 petagrams (Pg) of dry matter (which corresponds to a density of 9.32 kg/mZ). The total carbon pool is estimated to be 7.64 Pg of carbon (C) with an average density of 4.60 kg C/m 2 in 1988. Sensitivity analyses of data and methods show that the results of the equations probably underestimate the values for phytomass and carbon by about 5%. Tota
