Bamboo as Carbon Sink- Fact or Fiction
• The fast expansion of a growing bamboo culm might be considered as a high potential for carbon sequestration.
• The impressive biomass derives, however from the energy produced before and stored in rhizome and culms.
• The individual culm has a life-time of 7-10 years. There-after its biomass disintegrates as orginal compounds into the atmosphere, like the CO2.
• The gregarious flowering of many species after some de-cades, followed by their death provides an massive CO2 exposure.
• Bamboos are apparently similar suited for carbon sequestration than trees.
• A pronlongated sequestration of its carbon is provided by the numerous bamboo products if protected against deterioration.
• Although the carbon sequestration of bamboo forest is not likely to influence the mitigation of global warming, the importance of bamboo for a sustainable production of food, fibre and energy as well its environmental services for soil stability for a billion of humans are undisputed.
