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

Table 9

Comparison of mean estimated total above-ground biomass (per species) between model 7 and previous models (see Table 3) with 𝑡-test in the primary forest. The value in parenthesis represents the mean biomass for the current equation, whereas those outside the parenthesis represent the means of the previous equations.
