Allometric models for estimating the aboveground biomass of the mangrove Rhizophora mangle

Abstract The development of species-specific allometric models is critical to the improvement of aboveground biomass estimates, as well as to the estimation of carbon stock and sequestration in mangrove forests. This study developed allometric equations for estimating aboveground biomass of Rhizopho...
