TLDR
In this article, the authors estimate the biomass and its chemical composition, calculating what proportion would be removed in logging or cropping, and then estimating possible site deterioration (135, 229, 233, 233).Abstract:
Estimates of forest biomass and Its distribution are essential to the understanding of many aspects of forest ecology and ecosyst dynamics, as they can provide a basis for determination of productivity, energy flow, and chemical composition for mineral cycling studies. Most work dealing with productivity of forest systems has been concerned only with the merchantable volume of mass of timber, ignoring such components as leaves, branches, bark, and roots; therefore many of the early bi ss studies were carried out only in relation to management programs. This Involved estimating the biomass and its chemical composition, calculating what proportion would be removed in logging or cropping, and then estimating possible site deterioration (135, 229, 233).read more

Effects of forest harvesting nutrient removals on soil nutrient reserves
John Turner,Marcia J. Lambert +1 more
TL;DR: Intensive harvesting of native eucalypt forests is carried out in the Eden area in the south east coastal region of New South Wales, Australia, where it is expected that at least four forest rotations would be required before any detectable change would occur, within forest communities.

Aboveground biomass estimation of small diameter woody species of tropical dry forest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed regression models for estimating the biomass of trees at sapling stage in a tropical dry forest (TDF) in order to estimate their contribution to the total carbon stock.

Use of Logarithmic Regression in the Estimation of Plant Biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic assumptions of regression analysis are recalled with special reference to the use of a logarithmic transformation, and the limitations imposed on inference-making by failure to comply with these assumptions are discussed.
