1. Rubber Plantation Project for Carbon Sink CDM1. Rubber Plantation Project for Carbon Sink CDM

Location: Highland in Mondolkiri

province near Sen Monorom. 400km

East of Phnom Penh

Population: approximately 37,000

Project period: 70 years

Rubber tree rotation: 35 years X 2

periods

Annual planting area: Total 7,600 ha

- 1st year: 100 ha

- 2nd year: 500 ha

- 3rd~9th years: Every 1000 ha

2. Calculation Conditions of Carbon Balance2. Calculation Conditions of Carbon Balance

Growth curve of aboveground biomass rubber trees:

Vo = 0.1457t3 - 1.1615t2 + 3.6977t - 2.6483

(m3/ha.yr)

Growth of underground biomass rubber trees:

Wu = Aboveground x 20% (t-dw/ha.yr)

Baseline vegetation: Grass + Shrub trees

Biomass = 7.64 - 13.66 t-dw/ha

Biomass increment = 0.003 - 0.099 t-dw/ha.yr

Fuel consumption of mechanical working

Operation of heavy machine, vehicles, etc.
