Allometric Modelling of the Stem Carbon Content of Rhizophora mucronata in a Tropical Mangrove Ecosystem

Table 2

The stem carbon content of Rhizophora mucronata at different classes of diameter at breast height.

Diameter at breast height (cm)	Stem carbon content (kg)	Percentage increase of mean stem carbon content compared to previous diameter class (%)
4–6	6.6 ± 1.5^a	—
6.1–8.0	17.2 ± 3.5^b	160.6
8.1–10.0	32.7 ± 5.1^c	90.1
10.1–12.0	52.5 ± 7.4^d	60.6
12.1–14.0	72.6 ± 15.5^e	38.3
14.1–16.0	53.5 ± 10.2^d	—

The stem carbon content data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. The stem carbon content indicated by different superscript letters is significantly different from each other at 95% level of significance ().
