Allometric Equations for Aboveground and Belowground Biomass Estimations in an Evergreen Forest in Vietnam
Allometric regression models are widely used to estimate tropical forest biomass, but balancing model accuracy with efficiency of implementation remains a major challenge. In addition, while numerous models exist for aboveground mass, very few exist for roots. We developed allometric equations for aboveground biomass (AGB) and root biomass (RB) based on 300 (of 45 species) and 40 (of 25 species...
متن کاملDetermine the most suitable Allometric equations for Estimating Above-ground Biomass of the Juniperus excelsa
Today, modeling and determination of allometric equations of forest trees, especially Junipers trees, are very important for determination of biological status and carbon storage capacity of forest species. The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable allometric equations for estimating the biomass of leaf, sub branch, main branch, trunk, and biomass of total Juniperus excelsa tr...
متن کاملAllometric Equations for Estimating Biomass of Euterpe precatoria, the Most Abundant Palm Species in the Amazon
Allometric models to estimate biomass components such as stem mass Ms, foliage mass Ml, root mass Mr and aboveground mass Ma, were developed for the palm species Euterpe precatoria Mart., which is the most abundant tree species in the Amazon. We harvested twenty palms including aboveand below-ground parts in an old growth Amazonian forest in Brazil. The diameter at breast height D ranged from 3...
متن کاملAllometric equations for determining volume and biomass of Acer monspessulanum L. subsp. cinerascens multi-stemmed trees
Due to the importance of Acer monspessulanum in Iranian mountain forests, a study was carried out to reliably estimate its woody biomass and growing volume via allometric equations. Four transects, five trees in each were chosen randomly. The characteristics of standing trees including: diameter at root collar, height, number of stems and crown width were measured, then trees were finally cut d...
متن کاملAllometric equations for estimating belowground biomass of Androstachys johnsonii Prain
BACKGROUND The belowground component of the trees is still poorly known because it needs labour- and time-intensive in situ measurements. However, belowground biomass (BGB) constitutes a significant share of the total forest biomass. I analysed the BGB allocation patterns, fitted models for estimating root components and root system biomasses, and called attention for its possible use in predic...
