The potential of using xylarium wood samples for wood density calculations: a comparison of approaches for volume measurement

Wood specific gravity (WSG) is an important biometric variable for aboveground biomass calculations in tropical forests. Sampling a sufficient number of trees in remote tropical forests to represent the species and size distribution of a forest to generate information on WSG can be logistically chal...
