where q represents wood density (g cm3 ) and D denotes DBH (cm). General equations were selected since local or regional species-specific allometric equations have not been developed for all species occurring within the study area. While it has been shown that these general equations can produce much larger estimates of biomass than species-specific equations, these differences are slight for trees with DBH < 20 cm (Kauffman and Donato, 2012), which describes 92% of the overstory trees sampled in this inventory. Species-specific q values were employed, using the mid-value of the published density range for each species (World Agroforestry Center, 2013). For any tree encountered where the species was unknown, we used the average q among all species present, 0.86 g cm3 .
