"In order to evaluate the quantity of carbon sequested in the terrestrial vegetation, it is crucial to measure carbon storage precisely in situ. Carbon storage was evaluated based on systematic thorough measurement of biomass and carbon contents in each component including trees, Sasa, standing dead trees, coarse woody debris, litter, roots and soils of the cool-temperate deciduous broad-leaved forest in Gifu Prefecture, central Japan. The site locates at 36 deg 08'25""N, 137 deg 25'35""E on a south eastern slope of the Mount Norikura at about 1400m above sea level. One hectare of forest (100m*100m) was divided into 100 10m by 10m subplots. Carbon storage was calculated by summing up carbon mass, and simulated at each seven parts of ecosystem, including living trees, standing dead trees, and Sasa of floor vegetation as aboveground parts; plant litters, coarse woody debris, roots, and soils as belowground parts. The results indicate that 71.4 tC of carbon per hectare was in living trees, 5.3tC in standing dead trees, and 2.8 tC in Sasa of floor vegetation as in aboveground parts; while 22.9 tC in roots, 15.3 tC in plant litters, 4.6 tC in coarse woody debris, and 318.3 tC in soil. So 440.6 tC/ha is stored as the total, out of which 333.6 tC is storing in soils and 107.0 tC is storing in plants in this cool-temperate forest ecosystem."
