| Summary: | Biomass estimations using three allometric regression equations with different independent variables were carried out in 18-y-old Tectona grandis and 13-y-old Terminalia superba plantations established at
Gambari Forest Reserve, Southwestern Nigeria. Biomass estimation with D (diameter) as the only variable did not differ much from the model based on either the product of the square of the mean diameter and mean height of trees (D2H) or the product of the mean basal area and mean height of trees (BAH). Considering the computational
work and time involved in using D2H or BAH, the use of D only would save cost and time in estimation of biomass of the two species. |
