Remote sensing (RS) studies aiming at map** forest biomass typically rely on ground-
based estimates of biomass for calibration or validation. Whatever the biophysical variable …

Savanna ecosystems are challenging to map and monitor as their vegetation is highly
dynamic in space and time. Understanding the structural diversity and biomass distribution …

Aim Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by
a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and …

Ground-based forest inventories are reliable methods for forest carbon monitoring, reporting,
and verification schemes and the cornerstone of forest ecology research. Recent work using …

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

Individual tree carbon stock estimates typically rely on allometric scaling relationships
established between field-measured stem diameter (DBH) and destructively harvested …

Shrubbery and young plantations, with a large number of tree species, take up a broad area
in subtropical Chinese forests and contribute a significant part to forest biomass and carbon …

Land restoration through planting native species or facilitating natural regeneration may
provide opportunities for sequestration of biomass carbon in many regions where woody …

The development of biomass estimation models is highly resource intensive as it generally
entails harvesting (or excavating) trees of a range of sizes to determine dry weight of above …

Managing vegetation to sequester carbon in biomass requires estimates to meet standards
for accuracy, with methods that are transparent, verifiable and cost‐effective. Allometric …
