Above‑ground biomass models for dominant trees species in cacao agroforestry systems in Talamanca, Costa Rica

Tree biomass allometric models are essential to estimate biomass, carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in cacao agroforestry systems and other land uses with woody perennial species. A total of 34 trees of Cordia alliodora, 74 trees of Theobroma cacao and 38 trees of eight fruit species (Inga s...
