河岸植被对于提供各种生态系统服务至关重要。然而，河岸植被在储存碳方面的作用最近正在实现。本研究旨在评估澳大利亚昆士兰州康达明河及其支流沿着植被和粗木质残体（CWD）生物量碳的现状。树木，灌木和CWD从17个样地进行了清查，使用标准协议，并转换为生物量和碳质量。差、好、优样地的平均全碳量分别为4.3t/ha、134.8t/ha和291.7t/ha。这表明，291.7吨碳/公顷是很容易实现的河岸带的Condamine流域的土壤，地形和气候因素有利于河岸植被。这项研究的结果将有助于土地所有者和政策制定者了解河岸带的碳固存潜力，并促进目前政府在减排基金下的混合物种环境种植活动，最终促进更具弹性，经济上可行和环境上可持续的土地利用实践。
Riparian vegetation is crucial for providing a diverse range of ecosystem services. However, the role of riparian vegetation in storing carbon is recently being realised. This study aims to estimate the current status of biomass carbon from riparian vegetation and coarse-woody debris (CWD) along the Condamine River and its tributaries in Queensland, Australia. Trees, shrubs and CWD from 17 sample plots were inventoried using standard protocol and were converted into biomass and carbon mass. The average of total carbon for poor, good and excellent plots were 4.3 t/ha, 134.8 t/ha and 291.7 t/ha, respectively. This indicates that 291.7 tC/ha is easily achievable in riparian zone of Condamine Catchment where the edaphic, topographic and climatic factors are favourable for riparian vegetation. The results of this study would help landholders and policy makers to understand the carbon sequestration potential of riparian zones, and promote current government mixed species environmental plantings (MSEPs) activities under the Emissions Reduction Fund, which ultimately promotes more resilient, economically viable and environmentally sustainable land use practices on a landscape level.
