Understory vegetation accounts for a large proportion of floral diversity. It provides various
ecosystem functions and services, such as productivity, nutrient cycling, organic matter …

Selected allometric equations and fitting strategies were evaluated for their predictive
abilities for estimating above ground biomass for seven species of shrubs common to …

Species-specific allometric equations for shrubs and small trees are relatively scarce, thus
limiting the precise quantification of aboveground biomass (AGB) in both shrubby vegetation …

Quantification of plant biomass and carbon in ecosystems is critical for establishing climate
change mitigation potential. For large trees in various ecosystems, allometric models for …

Context The quantification of biomass of woody plants is at the basis of calculations of forest
biomass and carbon stocks. Although there are well-developed allometric models for trees …

Aim Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by
a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and …

Shrub-dominated ecosystems cover large areas globally and play essential roles in
ecological processes. Aboveground biomass expressed on an area basis (AGB) is central to …

Accurate estimation of desert vegetation biomass is crucial for monitoring changes in carbon
stocks and productivity status. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing allows large …

The impact of Prosopis species invasion in the Turkwel riverine forest in Kenya was
investigated under three contrasting: Acacia, Prosopis and Mixed species (Acacia and …

Allometric equations for the small trees that dominate many forests recovering from
disturbance, such as fire, are relatively rare, increasing the uncertainty of aboveground …
