Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource Total stem area at mid-bole and stump height best predicted foliage mass and area with R2=0.81.
- Method / resource Current sapwood area at stump height predicted foliage with R2=0.74.
- Method / resource DBH estimated leaf area with R2=0.72 but less precisely than total stem area.
- Association The ratio of leaf area to total stem area declined basipetally across the canopy.
- Recommendation The authors suggest the stem-foliage relationships could predict carbon sequestration and climate adaptation potential.
