Journal ArticleDOI
National scale biomass estimators for United States tree species
TL;DR: In this article, a set of consistent, national-scale aboveground biomass regression equations for U.S. species were developed for predicting biomass of tree components, defined in dry weight terms, for trees in the United States.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors brought together forest sector C budgets for Canada, United States, Europe, Russia, and China that were derived from forest inventory information, allometric relationships, and supplementary data sets and models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consistent land- and atmosphere-based U.S. carbon sink estimates.

TL;DR: Land- and atmosphere-based estimates of the carbon sink in the coterminous United States for 1980–89 are consistent, within the large ranges of uncertainty for both methods, indicating a relatively stable U.S. sink throughout the period.
ReportDOI
Comprehensive database of diameter-based biomass regressions for North American tree species
TL;DR: A database consisting of 2,640 equations compiled from the literature for predicting the biomass of trees and tree components from diameter measurements of species found in North America is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synthesis of current knowledge on forests and carbon storage in the United States
Duncan C. McKinley,Duncan C. McKinley,Michael G. Ryan,Michael G. Ryan,Richard A. Birdsey,Christian P. Giardina,Mark E. Harmon,Linda S. Heath,Richard A. Houghton,Robert B. Jackson,James F. Morrison,Brian C. Murray,Diane E. Pataki,Kenneth E. Skog +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that many strategies can increase forest sector carbon mitigation above the current 162-256 Tg C/yr, and that many Strategies have co-benefits such as biodiversity, water, and economic opportunities.
