Differences and uncertainties of alternative methods applicable to estimation of biomass in
national greenhouse gas inventories are evaluated. The alternative methods employed to …

Under changing environmental conditions, biomass development on the tree and the stand
level may differ from today, regardless if the induced change is due to a shift in the general …

Calculation of forest biomass is the basis for global carbon stock estimation, which has been
included in national forest inventory projects. The volume-derived biomass method is …

Global forests are the main component of the land carbon sink, which acts as a partial buffer
to CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere. Dynamic vegetation models offer an approach to …

This study describes parameterization of biomass functions applicable to Scots pine (Pinus
sylvestris, L.) in the conditions of Central Europe. Fifty-two sample trees from seven sites in …

Airborne laser scanner (ALS) data are used operationally to support field inventories and
enhance the accuracy of forest biomass estimates. Modelling the relationship between ALS …

No presente trabalho são incluídos dois estudos, cujo contributo foi fornecer instrumentos
para a quantificação de biomassa e de carbono na floresta portuguesa. Os dois estudos …

Developing allometric biomass models is an important process because reliability of forest
biomass and carbon estimations largely depend on the accuracy and precision of such …

Biomass amounts predicted by generalized models are often not applicable for small
regions. Localized allometric models were developed relating tree/biomass components to …

Biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEF) which convert tree stem volume to whole
tree biomass and biomass allocation patterns in young trees were studied in order to …
