A method for calculating the variance and confidence intervals for tree biomass estimates obtained from allometric equations

The need for accurate quantification of the amount of carbon stored in the environment has never been greater. Carbon sequestration has become a vital component of the battle against global climate change, and monitoring and quantifying this process are major challenges for policymakers. Plant allom...
