It is noteworthy that tree biomass would be greatly overestimated if we used the allometric equation for mangroves developed by Medeiros and Sampaio (2008) for the region, instead of developing our own allometric equations. This underlines that biomass allocation is specific for each mangrove stand in question (Komiyama et al., 2008) and emphasizes the need for further development of allometric equations for mangrove stands of different developmental stages during restoration. The equation produced in this work can be used for future monitoring of the study areas.
