BIOMASS (version 2.1.11)

Estimating Aboveground Biomass and Its Uncertainty in Tropical Forests

Description

Contains functions to estimate aboveground biomass/carbon and its uncertainty in tropical forests. These functions allow to (1) retrieve and to correct taxonomy, (2) estimate wood density and its uncertainty, (3) construct height-diameter models, (4) manage tree and plot coordinates, (5) estimate the aboveground biomass/carbon at the stand level with associated uncertainty. To cite 'BIOMASS', please use citation("BIOMASS"). See more in the article of Réjou-Méchain et al. (2017) .
