![]() ![]() Our findings represent a valid model to encourage the voluntary carbon market in Italy from afforestation with bamboo species.Ĭlimate change and its strong connection with anthropic greenhouse effect and global warming is considered one of the most significant global emergencies and it is no longer a topic of exclusive scientific interest. The study demonstrated the eligibility requirements for a GHG project and the suitability of moso bamboo farming finalized to carbon trading. The highest segregation power of the bamboo plantation equated 3,651.32 tCO2e ⋅ yr −1, segregated by the whole field in the 12th year (out of a total timeframe of 15 years). This allowed to evaluate if the bamboo afforestation projects are capable to offset carbon dioxide emissions in the Italian context. The study aimed to correlate the growth and thickening trend of moso bamboo field, namely its CO 2 capturing potential, with the geopedoclimatic context. The computational model, based on allometric parameters and field density, was integrated with an accurate analysis of the geological, pedological and climatic scenario, and of the socio-economic context. In order to evaluate CO 2 capturing potential, a computational study was developed and applied to the bamboo field to predict and quantify the tons of CO 2 equivalent annually sequestered, during a project range of 15 years. 2Science4Life s.r.l., University of Messina, Messina, ItalyĪ case study concerning an experimental moso bamboo plantation (5 ha), located in central Italy, is presented. ![]() 1Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche, Odontoiatriche e delle Immagini Morfologiche e Funzionali (Biomorf), Università di Messina, Polo Universitario Annunziata, Messina, Italy.Rossella Vadalà 1 †, Nicola Cicero 1,2, Giacomo Dugo 1,2 and Rosaria Costa 1* † ![]()
