QUANTIFICATION OF CARBON SINKS AND ITS EMISSION DUE TO HUMAN CONSUMPTION IN FOREST AREAS OF THE...

CHAPTER-4

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

To accomplish all the objectives successfully in the present study, I categorized the

methodology into three broad investigations, these are:

4.1 Administrative data collection on forest distribution from forest officers

4.2 Essential Data collection on carbon sinks in tree species.

4.3 Essential Data collection on carbon emission due to human impact on forests.

4.1 Administrative data collection forest distribution from forest officers:

The first attempt in the study is made by conducting two separate field work for data

collection from administrative branches of forest normal offices of the Dangs and Valsad

districts. The forests of Dangs and Valsad districts are Managed, Protect and Conserved by

Valsad Forest Circle of Gujarat Forest Department. The Dangs forests are managed by Dangs

North Division and Dangs South Division while a forest of Valsad district is managed by the

Valsad North Division and Valsad South Division. Some patch of forest falls under Navsari

district which is administratively charged by the Valsad North Forest Division. For all four

forest division offices, Information’s about the forest areas, locations, ecosystem profile,

forest types, forest sub-types (According to Champion and Seth forest type classification,

1968) and forest density, vegetation abundance and occurrences, and administrative maps

were collected. These maps were very useful during entire field work in forest areas, maps

were loaded with the complete information’s about the forest compartment boundaries,

surrounding areas, rivers, roads, interior areas, most nearing villages and district boundaries

with Scales. Collected information compiled and tabulated (MS Excel version 2007). The

information represents the current scenario of forest and ecosystem profile of study areas.

From such useful and important information, we get closer to distinguish about the forest

type and their density class (Very dense forest, Moderate dense forest, Open and Scrub forest

land). Maps of Dangs and Valsad Districts with the forest density class collected from Forest

Survey of India (2009). FSI maps show the forest density class (color tone viz. Dark green

indicates the very dense patch of forest, while light green represents the moderate density

class of forest etc.), forest area boundaries, and forest compartment area. Administrative

maps were superimposed on FSI maps through which it gets easier to reach the locations in

the forests.

4.2 Essential Data collection on carbon sinks in tree species

Quantitative data’s about carbon sinks were collected from continuous field work in all

four divisions in their respective forest areas. Methodology followed in the present study is

very complicated in the field than appear. In the biomass study and appropriate data

collection, four field visits of more than 90 field days during monsoon season in perilous

forest areas of Dangs and Valsad districts were done, which were programmed and managed

by the Gujarat Ecological Education and Research (GEER) Foundation.

4.2.1 Sampling, Sample Size and Sample Shape:

To prepare an original field inventory on vegetation enumeration, biomass assessment

and carbon estimation for research, we applied the Random Quadratee Sampling (R.Q.S.) in

forest areas. Quadrates of Size 20m x 20m were randomly set up in the forests by 0.002%

area sampling in forest areas of the Dangs and Valsad districts. I found the 6 forest sub-types

and laid total 128 quadrates in both the districts (Table No.-4.1), (Figure No.-4.1).

method

1.2.2 Biomass Estimation:

Methodology for biomass estimation in different carbon pools was measured in four steps in

forest areas:

A. In situ Biomass estimation of trees by non-destructive method

B. Biophysical Monitoring

C. Forest floor or Litter layer collection

D. Grass or herbaceous vegetation sampling

E. Soil Organic Carbon

A. In situ Biomass estimation of trees by non-destructive method:

In the non-destructive method, we need not to sacrifice the entire tree or bio-volume.

Use of allometric equations and bio-statistics tools we can evaluate the biomass of tree

species while in destructive method we harvest the tree and measure its green weight for

sampling. The destructive sampling in present study is not applied for the trees because it is

cost effective method and requires more human resource power. Biomass is estimated from

non-destructive method. Following four parameters are completed in present study,

estimation of AGB, BGB, TB and organic carbon sinks in plants.

B. Biophysical Monitoring:

AGB is measured by tree species enumeration in the fixed quadratee size 20m x 20m

(Figure No.-4.1). Species Girth and height were measured. Girth (GBH) is measured with

tailor tape at above ground surface of 1.32 meters and height of the tree species were

measured by Ravi’s Multimeter. Trees were defined as girth above ≥ 10cm for the present

study. Longitude and Latitude of the quadrates were marked by Global Positioning System

(GPS) (Table-4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4). All species falling under the quadratee were marked

and noticed in datasheets (See Datasheet-1). Each species in the quadratee was accounted

using its vernacular/local name with the help of local staff, Foresters and Guards after than

identified species translated to the scientific name. Above ground biomass are estimated in

species by two methods: Non Destructive method and, Destructive method. For grass sample

collection we applied the destructive method i.e. a required 500gm sample was collected

from quadratee location. Biomass of the trees was directly measured by non-destructive

method followed by Chavan et al. (2012), Hangarge et al., (2012) etc.

1. Above ground biomass (AGB): AGB of the tree species was calculated by multiplying

the bio-volume of the tree with wood density (g/cm3). The data of global wood density

was taken from Zanne et al., 2009. The bio-volume of the tree was calculated by

assuming the tree trunks to be cylindrical (Hangarge et al., 2012). The diameter was

calculated from the circumference or girth (cm) of the tree i.e. GBH/3.14 (Pandya et al.,

2013, Bohre et al., 2012). Bio-volume is simply calculated by multiplying the radius of

the tree with height of tree (m).

Bio-volume (TBV) = πr2h

Where; π value is 3.14, r is radius (D/2 or half value of the diameter) and h stands for height

of the tree in meter.

Above ground biomass (AGB) of species were calculated by multiplying the tree Bio-volume

with wood density (Kg/m3). In case the wood density is not available for at least the generic

level, the standard average value of 0.6 g/cm3or 600Kg/m3 is applied.

Biomass = Bio-volume x Wood density

2. Below ground biomass (BGB):

The below ground biomass of the tree is calculated by considering the root to shoot

ratio 4:1. We multiplied the value of AGB to the factor 0.26 to estimate the BGB, as the

method suggested in Pandya et al., (2013).

Below ground biomass (BGB) = Biomass x 0.26

3. Total Biomass:

Total biomass is the sum of the AGB and BGB (Pandya et al., 2013, Sheikh et al.,

2011).

Total biomass = Aboveground biomass + Belowground biomass

4. Carbon sink or storage of plants:

50% of biomass in any tree species is considered as carbon store component

(Juwarkar et al., 2011) i.e. half of the biomass is called as carbon storage of the trees.

Carbon Sink (Kg or tons) = Biomass x 0.5

C. Forest floor or Litter Sampling

1. Forest floor sampling performed by placing the PVC sample frame of 30cm x

30cm at any one site of main quadratee (Figure No.-4.1).

2. Dead wood less than 10 cm, twigs, leaves and other dead foliages were

considered as forest floor.

3. 500gram grass samples collected by from a total green weighed sample and put

into properly labeled polyethylene bags.

4. Total 17 forest floor samples were collected from Dangs and Valsad districts

respectively.

D. Grass Sampling:

Grass or herbaceous are sampling performed by placing the PVC sample frame of 30cm

x 30cm in four corners of main quadrate (Figure No.-4.1). Grass samples were

collected by destructive sampling. 4 sub-samples were collected, mixed and converted

into one main sample for each forest sub-type quadrate and weighed for fresh weight

measurement.500gram grass samples were decided to collect. We collected one sample

from each forest subtype of its respective density class. Total 17grass samples were

collected from study areas and no replicates were collected. Collected all the grass,

forest floor, samples brought to the Gandhinagar research laboratory of GEER

Foundation.

Laboratory treatment: Samples were oven-dried at 700C for 72 hours. The dry weight

(DW) of the samples was measured with the help of electronic digital weigh machine

and recorded in datasheet-2. Oven dried samples were grind and milled into the sharp

blade containers and traditional mixtures were also used. All the mild samples in

powdered form were analyzed on CHNS/O Elemental Analyzer Perkin Elmer 2400

Series-II at Sophisticated Instrumentation Centre of Applied Research and Technology

Laboratory (SICART), Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand District (Gujarat).

E. Soil Organic Carbon

1. The soil carbon pool is determined by the balance between C input by litter fall and

rhizodeposition on the one hand and the C release during decomposition. Soil auger was

used to collect the soil sample. For each forest sub-type and density class one sample was

collected by grab method i.e. 17 samples were collected.

2. Soil samples collected from any one random site of main quadrate.

3. Area for soil sample was determined by putting a PVC frame of 30cm x 30cm. Under

depth of 30cm in main quadrate and transfer into polyethylene bag to maintain its

moisture content.

4. Three parameters were analyzed, Soil organic carbon, pH and Bulk density by following

methods:

a. Soil Organic Carbon Estimation By Walkley Black Method

Chemical Requirement:

500ml Erlenmeyer flask, 10-ml pipette, 10ml, 20ml dispensers, 50ml burette,

Analytical balance, Magnetic stirrer, bubbler, funnel, 0.167 M K2Cr2O7, 0.5 MFe2+

solution (Fe(NH4)2(SO4)•6H2O), Ferroin indicator (FeSO4•7H2O),Concentrated

H2SO4, H3PO4 85 %, NaF (solid)

Protocol:

Weigh 0.1 to 2.00 g dried soil (Use up to 2.0 g of sample for light colored soils and 0.1 g for organic dark soils.)

React to 10 ml of 0.167M K2Cr2O7 by means of a pipette.

Gently, dispense 20 ml of conc. H2SO4 and allow it to mixing.

Incubate it for 30 minutes at Room temperature. Avoid heat loss by putting the flasks on insulation pad or cushion.

Add 200ml H2O to convert aforementioned solution into dilute form.

Use dispenser to add 10 ml H3PO4 (85%) and 0.2gm NaF.

Add 10-12 drops of Ferroin indicator.

Titrate against 0.5 M Fe2+ to get a wine red color as final endpoint.

Formula

E.O.C. (%) = (B-S) x M of Fe2+ x 12 x 100/gm of soil x 4000

Where:

B = ml of Fe2+ solution used to titrate blank

S = ml of Fe2+ solution used to titrate samples

12/4000 = milli-equivalent weight of carbon in gram.

% Total Carbon = % EOC/0.77 or % EOC ×1.30 b. pH Measurement

Materials: pH meter, beaker, stirrer, weighing balance

Procedure:

Take 20gm of soil in 100 ml sterile beaker

Add 50ml distilled water (D/W) to sterile beaker

The suspension is stirred at regular intervals for 30 minutes

Recorded the pH value

c. Bulk Density

Equipments:

1. Hot Air Oven

2. Soil Sampling tube

3. Weighing balance, etc.

Procedure:

• Take undisturbed soil

• Soil oven dried at 1050C for 12 hours

• Weight it in cylinder volume

• Calculate using formula

Formula:

Bulk Density = Weight of oven dried soil (g) / Volume of soil core (cm3)

Where, the volume of soil core=3.14 x (r)2h

r = inside radius of cylinder, cm

h=height of cylinder

1.3. Essential Data collection on carbon emission due to human impact on forests:

1.3.1. Household Survey:

After a reconnaissance survey from September-2011 to March-2012, 16 sites with

Dangs and 18 sites in Valsad Districts were selected and established for the data

collection. Following this, socio-economical data were collected between November-

2011 to March-2012 on four field trips of 55 days that were carried out in the selected

point location of each forest division and total 34 sites were covered. The objective of

carbon emission from fuel wood quantification embattled by stratified random household

sampling. Purely forest fringed perilous villages and tribal pockets were randomly

selected from each district. Semi-structured interview, guided field walk, discussions and

observations, with informants and key informants were applied based on a checklist of

the questionnaire. The Forest Guards and Foresters, and village heads were made

supported in this study of the language translation and establishing proper

communication with village communities. The present number of households obtained

from village heads was either inconsistent, biased or was uncertain. Therefore, the data

given in Census-2001 were used.

1.3.2Sampling:

Random household sampling was applied to assess the fuel wood consumption.

Generally, 10% village sampling is considered for accurate and precise data collection

from the large population size but the methodology in the field is very time consuming

and due to limited time availability 5% random sampling were followed. 5% sampling

was made in both the districts viz. Dangs and Valsad. From sampled 5% forest fringe

areas/villages, we used 10% household sub-sampling of total households of the study

area. The methodology includes the questionnaire discussion on fuel wood dependence

and consumption by livelihood. There are 311 forest fringe villages in Dangs District and

374 forest fringe villages are distributed in Valsad District (Forest patch land of Navsari

is administratively charged by the Valsad Forest Department) i.e. there are total 685

forest fringe villages in our study areas. 5% Sampling of total villages and 10% sampling

of households is designed for the study i.e. (685 x 5%) or 34 sampled villages are

covered under this study. The costal, non-forests, and urban areas are not made in

consideration of the study. List of sampled household is given in Table-1.3.2.
