Description

Calculation of tree biomass increment through repeat diameter measurements combined with allometric equations, plus litterfall collection to estimate total aboveground productivity.

Typical Equipment

  • steel diameter tape
  • mesh-lined litter traps
  • oven
  • balance

Output Measurements

  • tree biomass increment
  • litterfall mass
  • aboveground net primary productivity
