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.

Measuring carbon in forests: current status and future challenges
TL;DR: A compilation of existing root biomass data for upland forests of the world generated a significant regression equation that can be used to predict root biomass based on aboveground biomass only.

The spatial distribution of forest biomass in the Brazilian Amazon: a comparison of estimates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared several estimates of forest biomass for the Brazilian Amazon, based on spatial interpolations of direct measurements, relationships to climatic variables, and remote sensing data.

A global biome model based on plant physiology and dominance, soil properties and climate
I. Colin Prentice,Wolfgang Cramer,Sandy P. Harrison,Rik Leemans,Robert A. Monserud,Allen M. Solomon +5 more
TL;DR: A model to predict global patterns in vegetation physiognomy was developed from physiological considera- tions influencing the distributions of different functional types of plant in a given environment, and selected the potentially dominant types from among them as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root biomass allocation in the world's upland forests.
TL;DR: In this article, the root biomass density is estimated based on existing data from the literature and linear regression analysis is used to determine if a reliable method to estimate root density for forests could be developed.

Dynamics of C, N, P and S in grassland soils: a model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model to simulate the dynamics of C, N, P, and S in cultivated and uncultivated grassland soils using a monthly time step.

The Storage and Production of Organic Matter in Tropical Forests and Their Role in the Global Carbon Cycle
Sandra Brown,Ariel E. Lugo +1 more
TL;DR: The linear relationship between biomass and litterfall suggested that the turnover time of biomass in mature tropical forests is similar for all life zones, and is of the order of 34 yr.
Book
Carbon Storage and Accumulation in United States Forest Ecosystems
TL;DR: The most recent assessment of the forest resource situation as discussed by the authors focused on timber supply, and the data used to support the assessments came from traditional forest inventories designed to provide reliable estimates of timber volume, growth, removals, and mortality.
