Biomass functions and expansion factors for young trees of European ash and Sycamore maple in the Inner Western Carpathians
Original language description
Forest tree biomass models are important, not only for estimating total tree biomass but also for estimating biomass structure by components. Thus, we developed allometric equations, biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEF) for young European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and Sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus). New data, including 100 sample of each tree species, were collected from central Slovakia. Stem diameter, volume and length were measured and individual tree components; roots, stem, branches and foliage were dried and weighed. Biomass models were constructed using diameter at stem base and/or tree height as independent variables and biomass structure in ash and maple were compared with existing European beech (Fagus sylvatica) data obtained previously from the same region. While relatively few interspecific differences were recorded in whole tree biomass, there is evidence of structural diversity in component biomass. The main differences were found in percentages of stem and branch biom
