Closing a gap in tropical forest biomass estimation: taking crown mass variation into account in pantropical allometries
Accurately monitoring tropical forest carbon stocks is a challenge that remains outstanding. Allometric models that consider tree diameter, height and wood density as predictors are currently used in most tropical forest carbon studies. In particular, a pantropical biomass model has been widely used...
