The choice of biomass estimation models (BEMs) is one of the most important sources of
uncertainty in quantifying forest biomass and carbon fluxes. This review was motivated by …

Abstract Changes in the efficiency of light interception and in the costs for light harvesting
along the light gradients from the top of the plant canopy to the bottom are the major means …

Limiting climate warming to< 2° C requires increased mitigation efforts, including land
stewardship, whose potential in the United States is poorly understood. We quantified the …

Forests are major components of the global carbon cycle, providing substantial feedback to
atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Our ability to understand and predict changes …

Despite the importance of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) for growth and survival in
woody plants, we know little about whole‐tree NSC storage. The conventional theory …

Forest mensuration–the science of measurement applied to forest vegetation and forest
products–holds value for basic ecology as well as sustainable forest management. As …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

During the past decade, procedures for forest biomass quantification from light detection and
ranging (LiDAR) data have been improved at a rapid pace. The scope of these methods …

Historically, tree biomass at large scales has been estimated by applying dimensional
analysis techniques and field measurements such as diameter at breast height (dbh) in …

De los cuatro elementos de la filosofía natural de la Antigüedad, el aire es el más
imperceptible y el más espiritual. Los pensadores griegos del siglo VI aC sostenían que la …
