Species-specific or generic allometric equations: which option is better when estimating the biomass of Mexican tropical humid forests?
The aim of this study has been to compare the aboveground biomass (AGB) in six tropical forests in southeastern Mexico using generic and species-specific models at tree, species, and community levels. The dbh of 2,352 trees ≥10 cm was measured at 115 plots. AGB was estimated using Chave et al.’s gen...
