Development of Allometric Equations for Estimating Above-Ground Liana Biomass in Tropical Primary and Secondary Forests, Malaysia

Table 7

Comparison of mean estimated total above-ground biomass (per species) between model 13 and six previously published allometric equations (see Table 3) with t-test. The value in parenthesis represents the mean biomass for the current equation whereas those outside the parenthesis represent the means of the previous equations.
