Variability and uncertainty in forest biomass estimates from the tree to landscape scale: the role of allometric equations [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2020 Background Biomass maps are valuable tools for estimating forest carbon and forest planning. Individual-tree biomass estimates made using allometric equations are the foundation for these maps, yet the potentially-high uncertainty and bias associated ...

Allometric equations for selected Acacia species (Vachellia and Senegalia genera) of Ethiopia [PDF]
Carbon Balance and Management, 2021 Background Allometric equations are used to estimate biomass and carbon stock of forests. In Ethiopia, despite the presence of large floral diversity, only a few site-specific allometric equations have been developed so far.

Allometric equations for estimating peak uprooting force of riparian vegetation. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2023 Uprooting caused by flood events is a significant disturbance factor that affects the establishment, growth, and mortality of riparian vegetation. If the hydraulic drag force acting on riparian plants exceeds the peak uprooting force originate from their below-ground portion, it may result in the uprooting of these plants. Despite previous studies have

Allometric Equations for Aboveground and Belowground Biomass Estimations in an Evergreen Forest in Vietnam. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2016 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.

Allometric equations for estimating belowground biomass of Androstachys johnsonii Prain. [PDF]
Carbon Balance Manag, 2015 El componente subterráneo de los árboles sigue siendo poco conocido porque necesita mediciones in situ que requieren mucha mano de obra y mucho tiempo. Sin embargo, la biomasa subterránea (BGB) constituye una parte significativa de la biomasa forestal total.
