Quantification of aboveground biomass stock
We used the multispecies allometric biomass equation developed by (Chave
et al., 2014) to calculate the aboveground biomass (AGB) for all
individual trees present in the plots. The formula for the multispecies
allometric biomass equation is: AGB = 0.0673 × (ρ ×
DBH2 × Ht) 0.976, where AGBis the aboveground tree biomass in kilograms, ρ the
species-specific wood density (g∙cm-3), DBH the
diameter at breast height (cm), and Ht the total height (m).
