Three types of forest stands (chestnut coppice, maritime pine stands, and poplar and willow
short-rotation woody crops (SRWC)) were evaluated to determine their potential for energy …

This paper presents new equations for estimating above-ground biomass (AGB) and
biomass components of seventeen forest species in the temperate forests of northwestern …

Key message We developed two additive systems of biomass equations based on diameter
and tree height for nine hardwood species by SUR, and used a likelihood analysis to …

Nonlinear simultaneous systems of tree biomass models have been developed for various
tree species around the world. To deal with the additivity property between total tree …

Biomass models are key to the correct quantification of aboveground biomass and carbon
stocks. Most of the current available sets of biomass models were developed for adult trees …

Accurate quantification of tree biomass is critical and essential for calculating carbon
storage, as well as for studying climate change, forest health, forest productivity, nutrient …

Key message In this paper it is shown that a simultaneous adjustment provides more
efficient estimates of total tree biomass than with independent modelling for biomass …

Understanding the contribution of forest ecosystems to regulating greenhouse gas
emissions and maintaining the atmospheric CO2 balance requires the accurate …

Sweet chestnut plantations, irrespective of their main productive orientation (nut or timber
production), are key elements of the landscape as well as the cultural heritage of the areas …

Abstract Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is an interesting species for high-quality timber
production. It is well known that the species responds to early thinning, but there is no …
