Reducing the error in biomass estimates strongly depends on model selection (2015, methodology): “It is a Mitscherlisch equation fitted to 487 trees between 10 and 125 cm dbh, with a residual standard deviation of 4.221 m:”
Allometric equations for estimating tree aboveground biomass in evergreen broadleaf forests of Viet Nam (2016, background): “…variety of model forms such as power, logarithmic, and exponential functions (Brown, 1997; Ketterings et al., 2001; Jenkins et al., 2003, 2004; IPCC, 2003; Basuki et al., 2009; Dietz and Kuyah, 2011; Johannes and Shem, 2011; Chave et al., 2005, 2014; Henry et al., 2010, 2015; Huy et al., 2016a,b).”
Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, background): “than the one reported for African moist forests (0.60 g cm 3 with an interquartile range of 0.58–0.67 g cm (3); Henry et al. 2010).”
Manual for building tree volume and biomass allometric equations: from field measurement to prediction (2012, positive): “This wood density may then be modeled based on these variables (Henry et al., 2010).”
Allometric equations for aboveground biomass estimation of Olea europaea L. subsp. cuspidata in Mana Angetu Forest (2018, methodology): “The choice of the allometric model can overestimate the greenhouse gas by 40% in the Congo Basin (Henry et al. 2010).”
Closing a gap in tropical forest biomass estimation: taking crown mass variation into account in pantropical allometries (2016, methodology): “A similar trend was observed at every site, except for the Ghana data set (Henry et al., 2010), for which the largest sampled tree (72 Mg) had a rather low crown mass ratio (46 %).”
Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees (2014, methodology): “Over the past few years, numerous new tree harvest datasets have been produced, notably in Africa (Djomo et al., 2010; Henry et al., 2010; Ebuy et al., 2011; Ryan et al., 2011; Fayolle et al., 2013; Mugasha et al., 2013a), in dry forests and open woodlands (Nogueira et al., 2008a; Vieilledent et…”
Simultaneous estimation of above- and below-ground biomass in tropical forests of Viet Nam (2017, background): “Recently, it has also been shown that incorporating a measurement of crown diameter (m) can improve the accuracy of biomass estimates (Huy et al., 2016a; Dietz and Kuyah, 2011; Henry et al., 2010).”
