Dry Afromontane forests form the largest part of the existing natural vegetation in Ethiopia.
Nevertheless, models for quantifying aboveground tree biomass (AGB) of these forests are …

Aim Despite mounting empirical evidence regarding the positive effects of forest structural
diversity (STRDIV) on forest functioning, the underlying biotic mechanisms and controlling …

Biomass measurements are central to understanding and monitoring carbon stocks in the
forests. They also assists in assessing the growing stock of a species and biomass energy …

Biomass of trees may be predicted either directly applying allometric models or indirectly
from volume and biomass expansion factors (BEFs). For the Dry Afromontane forests, the …

Water use efficiency (WUE) measures the trade-off between carbon gain and water loss and
is an important link between the carbon and water cycles. A better understanding of …

Grazing exclosures have been promoted as an effective and low-cost land management
strategy to recover vegetation and associated functions in degraded landscapes in the …

Globally, there is a serious issue in carbon stock due to high deforestation and the loss of
land, limited carbon storage pools in aboveground and underground forests in different …

An allometric equation is used to convert easily measured tree variables into biomass.
However, limited species-specific biomass equations are available for native tree species …

Reliable estimates of carbon stocks for drylands are constrained by a limited number of
biomass models for predicting accurately the biomass of dominant tree and shrub species …

Agroforestry plays a significant role in climate change mitigation through improved
