Mixed Species Allometric Models for Estimating above-Ground Liana Biomass in Tropical Primary and Secondary Forests, Ghana

Table 3

Six previously published allometric equations (total above-ground liana biomass) used in comparing the current allometric equation. All the equations are based on the model form; total above-ground biomass = exp[𝑐+𝛼ln(Diameter)].
