Evaluating the Potential of Commercial Forest Inventory Data to Report on Forest Carbon Stock and Forest Carbon Stock Changes for REDD+ under the UNFCCC

Table 1

Summary information for the concessions (C) and forest types (FTs). For all the plots, each of the logging concessions and for the three Forest Types (FTs): fully corrected aboveground biomass estimates (AGB Mg ha⁻¹), mean wood density (WD g cm⁻³), and mean DBH (cm). Uncertainty values indicate respective standard errors of the mean.
