Modeling of carbon stocks in aboveground biomass and harvested wood products of Cupressus lusitanica plantations in Munessa forest district, Ethiopia

Climate change is a global challenge that is propelled by increasing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. Forest ecosystems and the Harvested Wood Products make a valuable contribution to mitigating climate change through carbon sequestration and storage. This study integrates field-based biomass measurements with CO₂FIX modeling to quantify aboveground biomass and harvested wood product carbon dynamics in Cupressus lusitanica plantations in Ethiopia. The combined approach provides th
