Broad-scale approaches are not well suited to fragmented systems where bamboo typically occurs as small clumps, linear plantations or scattered patches. In such contexts, gaps in sampling strategies, plot design and the use of allometric models restrict accurate estimation and reporting of bamboo’s carbon potential. Therefore, this review builds on two key references, a global manual for bamboo biomass and carbon assessment and a national bamboo resource inventory for Nepal, and complements them with 191 global and Nepal-specific publications to propose methodologies relevant for bamboo biomass and carbon inventory for non-forest areas in Nepal. The analysis was organized into four methodological steps: stand identification and mapping, sampling strategies, data collection approach and biomass and carbon estimation. International approaches were critically assessed for their adaptability to Nepal’s heterogeneous non-forest bamboo systems. Based on this synthesis and the author’s prior research experience, a practical, stepwise methodology is proposed in this review. The framework emphasizes flexible sampling, context-specific plot design and the integration of culm, soil and litter measurements, while highlighting the need for locally calibrated, age-specific and belowground allometric models. By aligning international practices with local realities, this study contributes detailed methodological guidance that can improve bamboo carbon assessment, strengthen national reporting and support sustainable bamboo management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100040,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Bamboo Science","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100217"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used <sup>15</sup>N tracing to explore the demographic and translocation traits of a running bamboo (<em>Phyllostachys glauca</em>) grown in various heterogeneous habitats and to discern the response of the IPU traits to habitat heterogeneity.

Habitat heterogeneity significantly influenced the spatial traits of IPUs (e.g., area, maximum ramet distance and ramet density) while having little effect on age structure or translocation traits (e.g., timing, speed and amount). Small areas of IPUs in high habitat heterogeneity and rhizome branching architecture might be the two reasons responsible for the negligible influence of habitat heterogeneity on translocation traits.

In this systematic review, we synthesize evidence of the multidimensional contributions of bamboo to eco-economic dimensions, as an alternative to non-renewable and non-recyclable materials. We address the research question: “How do bamboo forest resources contribute to economic and environmental sustainability?” 71 articles out of 1147 were screened for final analysis. Key findings related to the main economic and environmental value of bamboo supportive to SDGs, identifying existing research gaps, spotlighting the importance of policy frameworks for sustainability and suggesting implications for future research and interventions for inclusive green development, the central focus of this investigation. Bamboo could play a critical role in creating a sustainable future. We outline opportunities to enhance its value. The eco-economic values and services of bamboo extend to construction, textiles, energy production, agriculture sectors and climate change and plastic pollution mitigation efforts. Bamboo, as a multipurpose plant, substantially supports sustainable livelihoods, resource sustainability, a low carbon footprint and global networking opportunities. Bamboo could support 10 of the 17 SDGs. For instance, bamboo could directly support the achievement of SDGs 8, 13 and 17. Research on the eco-economic contributions of bamboo has covered less than 1 % of bamboo species and is predominantly concentrated in Asian countries. Limitations in scalability, lack of product standards, skill limitations, capacity constraints, market issues and inadequate policy frameworks hinder bamboo's full potential. Further investigations into socioeconomic factors, management practices and strategic governance are necessary to enhance its contributions. To maximize bamboo's significance, it is essential to implement product standardization, adopt new technologies, develop capacity and develop effective policy frameworks. Integrating bamboo with the SDGs could significantly enhance the value and competitiveness of bamboo products while fostering diverse industrial development and regional revitalization. The implications of bamboo in plastic substitution, carbon sequestration, job creation opportunities and other areas are key indicators of bamboo’s significance in achieving both eco-economic growth and sustainable development.
