Allometric equations for biomass and carbon stock estimation of small diameter woody species from tropical dry deciduous forests: Support to REDD+

Trees, Forests and People, 2022
In order to assess the contribution to the overall carbon stock and generate carbon credits under REDD+, it is essential to have an accurate estimation of biomass of different forest components.

Above-ground carbon stocks and its functional relationship with tree species diversity: the case of Kakamega and North Nandi Forests, Kenya

Scientific Reports, 2023
Estimating aboveground carbon (AGC) dynamics and tree diversity functionality relationships is critical in understanding the role of vegetation in implementing climate change mitigation strategies and promoting sustainable forest management.

Precise and unbiased biomass estimation from GEDI data and the US Forest Inventory

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations are dependent on land-atmosphere carbon fluxes resultant from forest dynamics and land-use changes. These fluxes are not well-constrained, in part because reliable baseline estimates of forest carbon stocks and the ...

Estimation of forest biomass by means of genetic algorithm-based optimization of airborne laser scanning and digital aerial photograph features

Silva Fennica, 2013
Information on forest biomass is required for several purposes, including estimation of forest bioenergy resources and forest carbon stocks. Airborne laser scanning is today considered the most accurate remote sensing method for forest inventory.

Carbon stocks and its variations with topography in an intact lowland mixed dipterocarp forest in Brunei

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2015
Tropical forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change, and therefore, an accurate and precise estimation of tropical forest carbon (C) is needed. However, there are many uncertainties associated with C stock estimation in a tropical forest,

Estimating tree biomass of sub-Saharan African forests: a review of available allometric equations

Silva Fennica, 2011
In response to the growing interest in estimating carbon stocks in forests, available allometric equations have been compiled for sub-Saharan Africa. Tree, sprout and stand volume and biomass equations were reviewed.

Aboveground biomass allometric models for large trees in southwestern Amazonia

Trees, Forests and People, 2022
Most of the basal area in Amazon forest is in large trees, many of which are species of interest for forest management. In forest management these trees are divided into the commercial bole that is harvested for wood production and the stump and crown ...

Estimating carbon stock in secondary forests: Decisions and uncertainties associated with allometric biomass models

Forest Ecology and Management, 2011
Secondary forests are a major terrestrial carbon sink and reliable estimates of their carbon stocks are pivotal for understanding the global carbon balance and initiatives to mitigate CO2 emissions through forest management and reforestation. A common method to quantify carbon stocks in forests is the use of allometric regression models to convert ...

Plot-level estimates of aboveground biomass and soil organic carbon stocks from Nepal’s forest inventory

Scientific Data, 2023
AbstractGiven the contribution of deforestation and forest degradation to the global carbon cycle, forest resources are critical to mitigating the global climate change effects. Improved forest monitoring across different biomes is important to understand forest dynamics better and improve global projections of future atmospheric CO2 concentration ...

Estimation of Biomass and Carbon Stocks in AbuGeili Forest, Sudan

, 2018
Forests are the biggest carbon pool on ground. Long lived wood Biomass estimation of the forest ecosystem enables us to estimate the expanse emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).This study assesses growth, biomass, carbon (C) storage and carbon sequestration potential over two inventory period (2006 and 2016) in different age plantation.
