Variability and uncertainty in forest biomass estimates from the tree to landscape scale: the role of allometric equations

Abstract Background Biomass maps are valuable tools for estimating forest carbon and forest planning. Individual-tree biomass estimates made using allometric equations are the foundation for these maps, yet the potentially-high uncertainty and bias associated with individual-tree estimates is common...
