Estimating aboveground carbon stock in forests: Allometric models

Following on from the last blog post, this post will look at another method for measuring aboveground biomass in forests is through the use of allometric models which relate tree dimensions to biomass. This is a good time to discuss this approach, since I’ve spent the past few days comparing allometric models used in two different regional carbon assessments of cocoa farms in Indonesia.
