Estimating the Aboveground Biomass of Bornean Forest [PDF]

Biotropica, 2014
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 ...

Biomass estimation as a function of vertical forest structure and forest height: potential and limitations for radar remote sensing [PDF]

, 2010
One common method to estimate biomass is measuring forest height and applying allometric equations to get forest biomass. Conditions like changing forest density or changing forest structure bias the allometric relations or biomass estimation fails ...

Forests, biomass use and poverty in Malawi [PDF]

Ecological Economics, 2011
In this paper, the authors seek to answer three questions about poverty and forests in Malawi: (1) What is the extent of biomass available for meeting the energy needs of the poor in Malawi and how is this distributed? (2) To what extent does fuelwood scarcity affect the welfare of the poor? (3) How do households cope with scarcity?

Response of woody vegetation to bush thinning on freehold farmlands in north-central Namibia

Scientific Reports, 2023
Bush encroachment affects much of the Namibian woodland landscape, causing significant loss of open savannah habitat and farm profits. Thinning of the trees/shrubs is recommended; however, research is required to identify the overall efficacy and effects
