I am doing a study to determine how much carbon is appropriated through harvesting of firewood. I have worked out the amount of wood (in kilograms) an area used in a particular year, however I am stuck as to how I then translate this into carbon values.
I would recommend in the first stage of the research to try and read some article on the topic or related tpăics in order to understand what was written up to now on this interesting topic and what some colleagues recommended. I added a few articles that might be helpful.

this article is on different types of wood of american trees, for your situation in south africa the values may be slightly different, take care you calculate with the appropriate water content, values may differ a lot whether fresh of dry wood is tested.
As I think about charcoal, not stone.
The weight of harvested wood from a single tree of the type y, weight x, multipled by the numer of trees y, weighted x = the amount of derived charcoal type y.
