Quantification of aboveground biomass stock
We used the multispecies allometric biomass equation developed by (Chave et al., 2014) to calculate the aboveground biomass (AGB) for all individual trees present in the plots. The formula for the multispecies allometric biomass equation is: AGB = 0.0673 × (ρ × DBH2 × Ht) 0.976, where AGBis the aboveground tree biomass in kilograms, ρ the species-specific wood density (g∙cm-3), DBH the diameter at breast height (cm), and Ht the total height (m).
