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 …

Terrestrial carbon stock map** is important for the successful implementation of climate
change mitigation policies. Its accuracy depends on the availability of reliable allometric …

Aboveground tropical tree biomass and carbon storage estimates commonly ignore tree
height (H). We estimate the effect of incorporating H on tropics-wide forest biomass …

There is a lot of uncertainty in the amount and spatial variations of above-ground biomass in
Africa, partly because very few allometric equations are available. The aim of this study was …

Conclusions. Considérant le manque de précision des équations allométriques disponibles
et des données d'inventaires forestiers à large échelle spatiale, il y a encore beaucoup …

Policies to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation largely depend on
accurate estimates of tropical forest carbon stocks. Here we present the first field-based …

The estimation and monitoring of the huge amount of carbon contained in tropical forests,
and specifically in the above-ground biomass (AGB) of trees, is needed for the successful …

Biomass and carbon stocks are key information criteria to understand the role of forests in
regulating global climate. However, for a bio-rich continent like Africa, ground-based …

Tropical forests in Africa store large amounts of carbon and there is an urgent need for
accurate methods to estimate this important carbon stock. One method to achieve this is by …

Tropical forests play a key role in climate change mitigation by sequestering and storing
carbon from the atmosphere. In Ethiopia, there are inadequate data in the form of carbon …
