Biomass estimation equations in the Tamaulipan thornscrub of north-eastern Mexico

摘要

This report presents allometric equations to estimate biomass components for ten typical shrub species of the Tamaulipan thornscrub of north-eastern Mexico with potential applications for forest inventory. Four procedures of total biomass estimation were tested. Equations developed in multiple linear least square stepwise procedures are recommended to estimate biomass components and additive total biomass for single shrub species, as well as for all species tested.
