Aboveground biomass and carbon
sequestration study
Three different forests were selected on
the basis of total inventories for woody stems of
DBH ≥ 4.5 cm. The SILVIC Program was used
for tree height estimation (Ht) by using a
minimum of 40 randomly selected trees of
various sizes in the sample plots and following
the equation Ogawa, Yoda and Kira (1961):
1/ Ht = 1/ A (DBH)h + 1/ H*
Where Ht = height of tree (m)
DBH =diameter at breast height (cm)
A, h, H* =constant
