Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource Stem biomass equations explained 64% to 99% of observed variance.
- Method / resource Foliage biomass equations explained 35% to 94% of observed variance.
- Method / resource Total-tree biomass equations explained 94 to 99% of observed variance.
- Method / resource Adding tree height and wood density significantly improved equation fit.
- Method / resource Generalized equations overestimated mean total-tree biomass by up to about 44.2% in some cases.
- Method / resource Generalized equations underestimated mean total-tree biomass by up to about 48.4% in other cases.
- Method / resource On forest inventory data, the new equations predicted biomass better than generalized equations.
- Recommendation The authors consider the equations reliable for estimating small-tree biomass in similar forests.
