Experimental testing of a volume index as a fast method for estimating carbon stock in the understorey vegetation

The biomass of understory vegetation has an important role in several forest ecosystem processes, though it is not frequently included in forest inventory programs, which are commonly focused on the tree component. The objective of the study is to test a fast procedure for obtaining an accurate esti...
