Background Trunk volume (V t) is an essential parameter for estimating forest stand volume,
biomass, and carbon sequestration potential. As the dominant tree species in desert riparian …

Tree volume equations including branches are scarce in forestry literature, especially in
diverse tropical forests, where the variability in tree shapes hampers the development of …

A third of the forest area in Central Africa has been granted to logging companies. Logging
is highly selective in the region, with an average of 0.7–4.0 trees harvested per ha, but its …

Buttressed trees provide mechanical support for themselves and offer essential ecological
functions, such as nutrient acquisition, while being one of the largest sources of volume or …

A better understanding of the determinants behind changes in the shape of irregular trunk
trees over time is needed to predict likely changes in carbon stocks and biodiversity when …

Tropical forests are the main contributors of CO 2 emissions between the biosphere and the
atmosphere in the land use sector. The deforestation and degradation of these forests are …

Résumé La mesure des stocks et flux de carbone forestier est absolument essentielle pour
comprendre le rôle que jouent les forêts dans le cycle global du carbone et pour mettre en …
