Betung bamboo is giant grass （Poaceae） which has been traditionally used by Indonesian people for construction material since a long time ago. Poaceae family commonly has better carbon sink ability than trees because of its Ca photosynthesis mechanisms, but bamboo sub-family （Bambusoideae） lacks the Ca photosynthetic pathway and anatomy. In the absence of this feature the maximum possible productivity of bamboos is unlikely to greatly exceed that of other bioenergy crops with C3 photosynthesis such as fast growing tree species. This research proposed a sinusoidal equation as a basic equation for plant＇s daily photosynthesis light response curve fitting. The sinusoidal equation was success for Betung bamboo＇s daily photosynthesis light response curve fitting （R2 〉 60%）. It had similar result in estimating carbon sink （82.35 kg/clump/year） compared to those which calculated by annual increment （69.01-107.82 kg/clump/year）. It is better to choose sinusoidal equation than quadratic or cubic Betung bamboo is a good choice to be planted in order to resist the global warming effect because it has superior carbon sink capability （82.35 kg/clump/year） than slow growing tree, and equal to fast growing tree species, besides many other advantages.展开更多
