Multispecies allometric equations for shrubs and trees biomass prediction in a Guinean savanna (West Africa)
Original language description
New allometric equations were developed for predicting aboveground and belowground biomass (AGB and BGB) of trees and multi-stemmed shrubs in the Guinean savannas basednon field measurements, providing information for West African mesic savannas and filling a critical knowledge gap. AGB and BGB of trees were better predicted from the quantity ρDb2H (with ρ the specific wood density in g cm–3, Db the stem basal diameter in cm, and H the tree height in m). Obtaining accurate estimates of AGB and BGB in multi-stemmed shrubs required additional consideration of the total number of stems. The root/shoot biomass ratio decreased with increasing of the stem size (measured by Db) for trees but remains relatively unchanged for shrubs.
