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

Tropical rainforests store enormous amounts of carbon, the protection of which represents a
vital component of efforts to mitigate global climate change. Currently, tropical forest …

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 …

Forest plays a special role in carbon sequestration and thus mitigating climate change.
However, the large uncertainty in biomass estimation is unable to meet the requirement of …

We report above-ground biomass (AGB), basal area, stem density and wood mass density
estimates from 260 sample plots (mean size: 1.2 ha) in intact closed-canopy tropical forests …

Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that
provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily …

Land cover change takes place in sub-Saharan Africa as forests and shrublands are
converted to agricultural lands in order to meet the needs of growing population. Changes in …

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 …

The protection and sustainable management of forest carbon stocks, particularly in the
tropics, is a key factor in the mitigation of global change effects. However, our knowledge of …

Height-diameter equations are essential to understand forest dynamics and estimate forest
biomass and carbon stocks. Most existing large scale height-diameter equations in Africa …
