I am looking for dry or live aboveground biomass (AGB) allometric equations of "Juniperus spp. and Taxus baccata" tree species. The study area is "dry temperate and semi-arid cold region of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan".
Relevant allometric equations are most welcome. Kindly share references for my better understanding.
I don't think there are any for that ecosystem yet, but there are plenty for North America. See: Updated generalized biomass equations for North American tree species – Forestry (2013) 87 (1): 129–151. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/forestry/cpt053.
You can also do your own measurements :-)
Puede buscar ecuaciones allometric para especies en la plataforma: http://www.globallometree.org/. Saludos
Puedes generar la ecuación allometric para la especie, serian un gran aporte. Saludos
Hola Hammad, hemos trabajado con muchísimas ecuaciones alométricas en Latinoamérica y el Caribe, pero no he visto para esas especies particulares. Mi sugerencia es que busques ecuaciones para "Género" y si aun no encuentras, para la Familia taxonómica, creo que para familia sería más factible encontrar. En mi perfil RG puedes encontrar un libro de ecuaciones alométricas para Chile, que podría servirte por el tipo de clima que mencionas.
Un cordial saludo y a tu disposición por lo que requieras
I'm not sure if there are specific ones for that ecosystem; however, see the attached manuscript for biomass equations for related Juniper and Taxus spp.
Thanks a lot for valuable comments and suggestions. Yes, finally I have decided to use equations given in Jankin et al. 2003.
See my monograph http://elar.usfeu.ru/handle/123456789/5696
It is always better to have some sample data of site in studies as locality factors play an important role so You can also do your own measurements to reconfirm Jekins equation.
