Almost 50% of the land in Galicia (NW Spain) is covered by forest (minimum area of land of
1 ha with tree crown cover of more than 10%) and the region is the top timber–producing …

This study is part of a larger project aimed at quantifying the biomass and biomass
increment of an experimental beech stand aged 30 years, and comparing the carbon …

Studies dealing with the estimation of biomass, site productivity and the contribution of
forests to the global carbon balance require the use of allometric equations. There have …

This research was based on three species: Citrus sinensis (orange), Olea europaea (olive)
and Prunus amygdalus (almond). The biomass was determined for a complete tree without …

A review of stem volume and biomass equations for tree species growing in Europe is
presented. The mathematical forms of the empirical models, the associated statistical …

Aboveground biomass was studied in Castanea sativa Mill. coppice stands in north-west
Spain, and biomass equations were fitted at three levels (individual tree, stool and stand) …

Forest biomass is an interesting option for bioenergy generation, however sustainability
aspects should be carefully considered. In this context, the nutrient exportation is a key factor …

Accurate estimates of below-ground biomass of trees are important when quantifying the
amount of carbon sequestered in forests. Allometric single-tree below-ground biomass …

Biomass has been widely studied in terms of ecosystem ecology, timber production
profitability, bioenergy (biofuels) and greenhouse gas emission reduction mechanisms …

Context Biomass prediction is important when dealing for instance with carbon
sequestration, wildfire modeling, or bioenergy supply. Although allometric models based on …
