The influence of sampling design on tree-ring-based quantification of forest growth
Christoph Nehrbass-Ahles,Flurin Babst,Stefan Klesse,Magdalena Nötzli,Olivier Bouriaud,Raphael Neukom,Raphael Neukom,Matthias Dobbertin,David Frank +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that commonly applied sampling designs can impart systematic biases of varying magnitude to any type of tree-ring-based investigations, independent of the total number of samples considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of crown dimensions to improve tropical tree biomass estimates
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that accounting for crown allometry would substantially improve the accuracy of tropical estimates of tree biomass and its distribution in primary and degraded forests.

Species Matter: Wood Density Influences Tropical Forest Biomass at Multiple Scales.
Oliver L. Phillips,Martin J. P. Sullivan,Timothy R. Baker,Abel Monteagudo Mendoza,Percy Núñez Vargas,Rodolfo Vasquez +5 more
TL;DR: Impacts of species on forest biomass due to wood density at all scales from the individual tree up to the whole biome are found and mean basal-area-weighted wood density values for different forests across the low and tropical biome are provided.

Tree biomass equations from terrestrial LiDAR : a case study in Guyana
Alvaro Lau,Kim Calders,Harm Bartholomeus,Christopher Martius,Pasi Raumonen,Martin Herold,Matheus Boni Vicari,Hansrajie Sukhdeo,Jeremy Singh,Rosa C. Goodman +9 more
TL;DR: This work developed allometric models to estimate tree AGB in Guyana based on tree attributes obtained from terrestrial laser scanning point clouds from 72 tropical trees and wood density and determined that TLS-derived AGB estimates were unbiased.

TL;DR: In this article, the same standardized protocol was used to destructively sample 845 tropical trees belonging to 55 African species and covering a large range of diameters (up to 200 cm).

Ancient trees in Amazonia
TL;DR: In the absence of annual rings, 14C dating is the only way to determine the age of a tree directly as mentioned in this paper, and the results showed that trees in these forests can be more than 1,400 years old.
