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
The Structure, Distribution, and Biomass of the World's Forests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the environmental factors controlling the structure and distribution of forests and evaluate their current and future trajectory, concluding that forest biomass is a complex property affected by forest distribution, structure, and ecological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions of Land-Use History to Carbon Accumulation in U.S. Forests
John P. Caspersen,Stephen W. Pacala,Jennifer C. Jenkins,George C. Hurtt,Paul R. Moorcroft,Richard A. Birdsey +5 more
TL;DR: The relative contribution of land use and growth enhancement is estimated by using inventory data from five states spanning a latitudinal gradient in the eastern United States to estimate the rate of carbon accumulation.
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.
