M=ovendry weight of biomass component of tree in
kilograms
D=dbh in centimeters
a and b are parameters and are different for
every species
How are biomass estimates computed?
Allometry equations are usually expressed in one of two forms
- biomass = a X dbh b
- biomass = a + b log (dbh)
These equations give a reasonable estimate of above ground biomass based on tree species and diameter.
