Allometric equations for aboveground biomass estimation of Olea europaea L. subsp. cuspidata in Mana Angetu Forest (2018, background): “Due to the high species diversity in tropical forests, much attention has been placed on developing generalized allometric models for tropical trees (Brown 1997; Zianis and Mencuccini 2004; Chave et al. 2005; Pilli, Anfodillo, and Carrer 2006).”
Biomass production and allocation in Jatropha curcas L. seedlings under different levels of drought stress (2010, background): “where B is the total aboveground dry biomass, D the diameter (at the base or at breast height), and a and b the scaling coefficient and exponent, respectively [24,27].”
Allometric equations for tree species and carbon stocks for forests of northwestern Mexico (2009, background): “Three similar equations were reported by Pilli et al. (2006) for young, juvenile and mature trees, showing the consistency of our biomass equations and the relationship between a and b.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, background): “In addition, development of universal (Pilli et al., 2006) and generalized (Muukkonen, 2007) static equations ignores significant species variability and complex relationships, particularly when the goal is to estimate regional and national biomass (Zianis and Mancuccini, 2004).”
General allometric equations and biomass allocation of Pinus massoniana trees on a regional scale in southern China (2011, methodology): “Tree and stand biomass estimations have been recognized as one of the crucial steps in the assessment of forest carbon stocks in compliance with the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas reduction (Brown 2002; Körner 2005; Pilli et al. 2006).”
Allometric Models for Predicting Aboveground Biomass in Two Widespread Woody Plants in Hawaii (2008, methodology): “Due to the high species diversity in tropical forests, much attention has been placed on developing generalized allometric models for tropical trees (Brown 1997, Zianis & Mencuccini 2004, Chave et al. 2005, Pilli et al. 2006).”
