“…Species-specific equations based on height and/or dbh were only available for a small fraction of species (Henry et al, 2011), but combined regressions over all species (stratified by ecological zone) are sufficiently accurate in the tropics (Chave et al, 2005). For Sudanian savannas, we identified two suitable equations (Luoga et al, 2002;Mbow et al, 2013), and selected the first for adult individuals: BM = 0.06 dbh 2.012 h 0.7 , where BM is aboveground biomass (kg) of a tree, dbh the stem diameter at breast height, and h total height. For juveniles, we lumped data from the two subplots.…”

“…For juveniles, we lumped data from the two subplots. We used the median of size-classes, treated height data as continuous, and used the allometric equation from Mbow et al (2013) to estimate biomass from canopy height h as BM = 25.581h À 7.006h 2 + 0.662h 3 .…”

“…Pour une meilleure prédiction de la productivité, la collecte de l'information sur la biomasse des arbres et arbustes doit prendre en compte les grands et petits diamè-tres (MBOW et al, 2013). Trois classes de diamètre incluant les petits diamètres, les diamètres intermédiaires et les grands diamètres ont ainsi été définies.…”

“…Ces résultats corroborent ceux de KOUYATÉ et al (2006), qui ont montré une corrélation positive entre la productivité en fruits de Detarium microcarpum et son diamètre à 1,30 m de hauteur. MBOW et al (2013) mentionnent également que les individus à petit diamètre contribuent moins à la biomasse que les individus à grand diamètre.…”

“…It also gives us an idea of the potential amount of carbon that can be emitted in the form of carbon dioxide when forests are being cleared or burned (Lu 2006). Several models have been developed for the determination of biomass and carbon based on plant diameter (Mbow et al 2013), but these models are species specific and focus on the amount of carbon stored in the forest trees. General equations can be inaccurate when used to estimate biomass of individual tree species.…”
