e0“Generalized allometric equations can be used to estimate the biomass of C. japonica plantations because the slopes of allometric equations were not significantly different by the stand density.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Component allometric equations were significant except for high-density branch biomass and low-density foliage and cone biomass.
- Method / resource Diameter at breast height accounted for 80-96% of component biomass variation.
- Method / resource Allometric equation slopes did not differ significantly by stand density.
- Observation The high-density stand had a biomass expansion factor of 1.33.
- Observation The low-density stand had a biomass expansion factor of 1.50.
- Association Biomass expansion factors were significantly lower at high than low stand density.
- Association Allometric equations were little related to stand density.
