A Case Study on Biomass Assessment in a Semi-Arid Olive Rainfed System in Morocco

Résumé fourni par la source

Thanks to its potential life span of hundreds of years, olive can develop great biomass and sequester large amounts of carbon (C). It may therefore play a critical role in reducing atmospheric C and improving farmer livelihoods by providing additional revenue from C credits. Predicting olive’s impacts on C cycling relies on allometric models. In our specific conditions, such models reliably predicted biomass accumulation with a minimum of three dendrometric measurements: tree age, height, and diameter at 10 cm.
