As interest in natural capital grows and society increasingly recognizes the value of
biodiversity, we must discuss how ecosystem observations to detect changes in biodiversity …

The long‐standing view that biomass growth in trees typically follows a rise‐and‐fall
unimodal pattern has been challenged by studies concluding that biomass growth increases …

Accurate ground‐based estimation of the carbon stored in terrestrial ecosystems is critical to
quantifying the global carbon budget. Allometric models provide cost‐effective methods for …

Although stand age affects biomass partitioning and allometric equations, the size of these
effects and whether it is worth incorporating stand age into allometric equations, requires …

Chinese subtropical forests contain a diversity of tree species and exhibit a high carbon (C)
sequestration capacity, but biomass and C stock assessments in subtropical secondary …

Abstract Knowledge of the functional consequences of biodiversity is increasing through
studies of both experimental systems and natural systems. Community assembly theory has …

Allometric regression models are widely used to estimate tropical forest biomass, but
balancing model accuracy with efficiency of implementation remains a major challenge. In …

Allometric scaling laws critically examine structure–function relationships. In estimating the
forest biomass carbon and its response under climate change, the issue of scaling has …

Mangroves provide multiple ecosystem services (ESs), including fish and wildlife habitat,
protection from coastal erosion and flooding impacts, food resources, water quality, carbon …

Aim Existing global models to predict standing biomass are based on trees characterized by
a single principal stem, well developed in height. However, their use in open woodlands and …
