Least squares-based biomass conversion and expansion factors best estimate biomass than ratio-based ones: Statistical evidences based on tropical timber species
Due to its readiness to convert stem volumes (V) into biomass, national and regional aboveground biomass estimates and greenhouse gas reporting are generally based on biomass conversion and expansion factors (BCEFs). BCEF-based biomass (Ŵ) is computed by the following regression through the origin (...
