Question

The biomass of deciduous forest is 50% carbon. additionally at a rate of 2.7 x 10^5 kg/hectare. calculate the mass of carbon accumulation and stored in 1.0 hectare of this forest in one year.

Answer 1

Rate : 2.7 * 10 ^5 kg/hectare
m = 2.7 * 10^5 kg/hectare * 1.0 hectare = 2.7 * 10^5 kg
50°= 1/2
m ( Carbon ) = 1/2 * 2.7 * 10^5 kg = 1.35 * 10^5 kg
The mass of Carbon is 135,000 kg or 135 tons.
