Determinants of Above-Ground Biomass and Its Spatial Variability in a Temperate Forest Managed for Timber Production

Determinants of Above-Ground Biomass and Its Spatial Variability in a Temperate Forest Managed for Timber Production

The proper estimation of above-ground biomass (AGB) stocks of managed forests is a prerequisite to quantifying their role in climate change mitigation. The aim of this study was to analyze the spatial variability of AGB and its uncertainty between actively managed pine and unmanaged pine-oak referen...
