Assessment of three allometric regression techniques of biomass determination in two hardwood species

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...
