MPI requires research services to determine whether the existing default Exotic Hardwoods tables can be applied or modified to apply to plantings of poplar and willow species to determine their eligibility for inclusion in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). This project will be in two parts:
1. Field research to:
a. identify poplar/willow species most commonly used in plantings, for both wide and narrow canopies
b. the typical crown diameters expected at maturity for three broad climatic zone
c. for the same zones, for typical stands – determine stocking, age, diameter at breast height and average whole stem wood density.
2. Literature review to determine the most applicable allometric equation to estimate individual tree poplar/willow carbon stocks under New Zealand conditions and based on the findings of the field research address four separate questions using a wood density adjusted or a stock adjusted version of the default Exotic Hardwood tables results in important differences in carbon stocks and/or delivers important gains in the accuracy of carbon stocks determined for the stands sampled.
