Tree Biomass Equations from Terrestrial LiDAR: A Case Study in Guyana

Tree Biomass Equations from Terrestrial LiDAR: A Case Study in Guyana

Large uncertainties in tree and forest carbon estimates weaken national efforts to accurately estimate aboveground biomass (AGB) for their national monitoring, measurement, reporting and verification system. Allometric equations to estimate biomass have improved, but remain limited. They rely on des...
