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 …

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

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 …

Poplar plantations in high-density and short-rotation coppices (SRC) are a suitable way for
the fast production of wood that can be transformed into bioproducts or bioenergy. Optimal …

The area of larch (Larix gmelinii) plantations in northeast China has increased following the
massive afforestation program implemented by China's central government to provide …

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 …
