Effect of tree, stand, and site variables on the allometry of Eucalyptus globulus tree biomass
TL;DR: There is a significant increase in the predictive ability of the models that include height (stem components) or crown length (crown components) as an additional predictor to diameter at 1.30 m in eucalyptus tree aboveground biomass prediction.

Growth, biomass estimates, and charcoal production of Acacia drepanolobium in Laikipia, Kenya
TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of A. drepanolobium for sustained charcoal yield in Laikipia, Kenya, was evaluated by developing predictive equations for standing biomass and charcoal production, and by undertaking a chrono-sequence analysis of its regrowth.

Morphological and physiological traits influencing biomass productivity in short-rotation coppice poplar
TL;DR: Traits for fast growth studied in an American interspecific pedigree derived from Populus trichocarpa Torr.

Above ground standing biomass and carbon storage in village bamboos in North East India
TL;DR: In this paper, allometric relationships were developed by harvest method describing leaf, branch and culm biomass with DBH as an independent variable using a log linear model using a linear model for biomass estimation of village bamboos of Barak Valley, North East India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing woody bamboos for carbon farming and carbon trading
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of woody bamboos in biomass carbon storage and as an option for carbon farming and carbon trading is described, and a synthesis suggests that bamboo offers tremendous opportunity for carbon trading and carbon farming.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dimension and production relations of trees and shrubs in the brookhaven forest, new york.
TL;DR: In this article, Woodwell et al. used the wood rings and bud-scale scars which mark annual increments of growth in some climates for assessment of current net production and nutrient movement in forests.
Book ChapterDOI
Methods of Assessing Terrestrial Productivty
TL;DR: The relationship between aquatic and terrestrial communities can be expressed as the biomass accumulation ratio: the ratio of the standing crop or biomass present, to the annual net primary productivity as discussed by the authors, which is a measure of the relative productivity of the two communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecophysiology of short rotation forest crops
TL;DR: The role of genetic improvement in short rotation forestry and the power of the clonal approach to induce resprouting in wood species are discussed.
