MODIS Based Estimation of Forest Aboveground Biomass in China. [PDF]
Accurate estimation of forest biomass C stock is essential to understand carbon cycles. However, current estimates of Chinese forest biomass are mostly based on inventory-based timber volumes and empirical conversion factors at the provincial scale ...

Field experiments underestimate aboveground biomass response to drought [PDF]
AbstractResearchers use both experiments and observations to study the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, but results from these contrasting approaches have not been systematically compared for droughts. Using a meta-analysis and accounting for potential confounding factors, we demonstrate that aboveground biomass responded only about half as ...

Estimating aboveground biomass of oil palm: Allometric equations for estimating frond biomass [PDF]
Abstract Allometric equations were developed to estimate the biomass of oil palm frond with nontree-lethal methods. The study was conducted in oil palm plantations belonging to the Oil Palm Research Center of the Institut National de Recherches Agricoles du Benin (INRAB) and to neighboring smallholders oil palm plantations.

Estimating the Aboveground Biomass of Bornean Forest [PDF]
AbstractWe apply a process‐based model, called 3‐PG (physiological principles for predicting growth), to estimate aboveground biomass for the primary forests of Borneo. Using publicly available soil and climate data, and parameterized with physiological traits of Bornean forest, the modeled aboveground biomass and basal area showed statistically ...

Estimation of aboveground biomass using optical and radar images (Case study: Nav-e Asalem forests, Gilan) [PDF]
Using remote sensing data is an applied method to estimate above ground biomass. In this study, satellite radar data of ALOS-2, with the full polarization and the optical data of Sentinel-2, has been used to estimate the aboveground biomass in the Nav-e ...

Grassland carbon sequestration and emissions following cultivation in a mixed crop rotation [PDF]
Grasslands are potential carbon sinks to reduce unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2. Effect of age (1 to 4-yr-old) and management (slurry, grazing multispecies mixture) of a grass phase mixed crop rotation on carbon sequestration and emissions upon
