Common Regressions to Estimate Tree Biomass in Tropical Stands
Regression analysis is often used to estimate tree biomass as a function of tree dimension, but most regressions are developed for a specific species and site. Broader applications may be valid in some cases. Regressions developed in Thailand for estimating bole weight and branch weight as a function of D²H were found to be applicable to the rain forest of Puerto Rico. These results suggest that common regressions also exist for estimating aboveground biomass and total tree biomass.
