Aboveground biomass estimate for Amazonian dense tropical moist forests
The making of a forest inventory was carried out exclusively to obtain an estimate of aboveground biomass for Amazonian dense tropical moist forests, particularly in the South of Pará and South of Roraima. These regions have suffered excessively high detorestation rates in the last five years. Aboveground biomass was estimated through mathematical models for total (stem and crown) fresh and dry weight of whole vegetation with a diameter at breast height (dbh) counting greater than 5cm. The selected model contained tree dbh and total height. Besides biomass, this also presents estimates for number of trees and basal area on a hectare basis. Sampling size was 22.8ha, and plot dimensions were 20 by 200m for both regions. Dry weight estimates for South of Pará and South of Roraima are 185t/ha and 228t/ha, respectively
