Accurate ground‐based estimation of the carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems is critical to
quantifying the global carbon budget. Allometric models provide cost‐effective methods for …

In this Tamm review, we trace the origin and application of two production indices: Light Use
Efficiency (LUE) and (Leaf) Growth Efficiency (GE). Light Use Efficiency usually denoted (ε) …

Because biomass residues do not cause land-use change, soil carbon changes are
commonly not considered in life cycle assessments (LCAs) of biofuel derived from forest …

Forests play a critical role in the hydrologic cycle, impacting the surface and groundwater
dynamics of watersheds through transpiration, interception, shading, and modification of the …

The continuity and depth of litter fuelbeds are major drivers of fire spread and fuel
consumption. However, no established approach is available for the spatially explicit …

Biomass equations are a helpful tool to estimate the tree and stand biomass production and
standing stock. Such estimations are of great interest for science but also of great …

Allometric scaling laws critically examine structure–function relationships. In estimating the
forest biomass carbon and its response under climate change, the issue of scaling has …

Most measurements and models of forest carbon cycling neglect the carbon flux associated
with the turnover of branch biomass, a physiological process quantified for other organs (fine …

Both aggregative and disaggregative strategies were used to develop additive nonlinear
biomass equations for slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) trees in the …

Accurate quantification of below-ground biomass (BGB) of woody vegetation is critical to
understanding ecosystem function and potential for climate change mitigation from …
