Height-diameter allometry and above ground biomass in tropical montane forests: Insights from the Albertine Rift in Africa.

Tropical montane forests provide an important natural laboratory to test ecological theory. While it is well-known that some aspects of forest structure change with altitude, little is known on the effects of altitude on above ground biomass (AGB), particularly with regard to changing height-diamete...
