Abstract
The work was carried out in order to study the functions of carbon accumulation and oxygen release by biomass of artificial forests of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The study was carried out on the territory of the Kuban forestry. Plantings, both pure and mixed in composition, are grown under the same conditions for growing fresh oak forests, aged 48 to 63 years. The research is based on the method of comparison and analysis associated with the concept of multipurpose, rational, sustainable use of forest resources. Carbon stocks were estimated using an analytical method. The volumes of atmospheric carbon and carbon dioxide absorbed by forests, as well as the volume of oxygen released, have been calculated. The calculation results show that the maximum amount of carbon is absorbed by ordinary ash (931.9 t/ha) and English oak (476.7 t/ha). The minimum amount of carbon dioxide (158 t/ha) is absorbed by Siberian elm. This crop also emits the least amount of oxygen – 117.3 t/ha. Using test results can help estimate the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by plants and the amount of oxygen released.
