Biomass and Soil Carbon Stocks in Wet Montane Forest, Monteverde Region, Costa Rica: Assessments and Challenges for Quantifying Accumulation Rates

Table 1

Summarized data for AGB calculations for Monteverde Institute (MVI) and La Calandria (LC). Measurements of stem dbh calculated as number of stems in size class per hectare. AGB for mature and secondary forest presented as oven-dried biomass calculated by equation of Brown [13] in units of metric tons (=Mg) per hectare (t ha⁻¹). AGB is biomass carbon in t ha⁻¹.

Site	Mature dbh			AGB		AGB
	20	50	70	Mature	Secondary	Mature	Secondary
MVI	340	160	60
LC	467	100	0
