Taking Tanzania as an example, the authors lay a special focus on bamboo carbon sequestration and storage potential and assess the dynamics of carbon stocks: (i) across an elevation gradient, (ii) between indigenous and exotic bamboo species, and (iii) between intensively and extensively managed bamboo ecosystems. The authors collected data from 60 destructive sample plots and estimated biomass carbon stocks in the aboveground carbon pool.
