⚠️There's a newer version (2.2.3) of this package.Take me there.

BIOMASS

The package

R package for estimating aboveground biomass and its uncertainty in tropical forests.

Contains functions to estimate aboveground biomass/carbon and its uncertainty in tropical forests. These functions allow to:

  1. retrieve and correct the taxonomy;
  2. estimate the wood density and its uncertainty;
  3. construct height-diameter models;
  4. manage tree and plot coordinates;
  5. estimate the aboveground biomass/carbon at the stand level with associated uncertainty;

For more information, see article or the vignette of the package, and the reference manual.
