Vegetation Above Ground Biomass, Litchfield Savanna SuperSite, Tower Plot, 2013

Standing above ground biomass (AGB) for the 1 hectare plot was calculated based on measurements taken in 2013. Measurements included the DBH (cm), height (m) and wood density (g/cm³) for stems ≥10 cm DBH. Allometry for estimates of AGB (kg) were based on: Chen X. (2002) Carbon balance of a eucalypt open forest savanna of Northern Australia, PhD Thesis, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, NT. Williams R.J., Zerihun A., Montagu K., Hoffman M., Hutley L.B., Chen X.

本1公顷样地的地上生物量（Aboveground Biomass, AGB）存量基于2013年的野外实测数据计算得出。实测指标包括胸径（Diameter at Breast Height, DBH，单位：cm）、树高（单位：m）以及木材密度（单位：g/cm³），调查对象为胸径≥10 cm的林木茎干。用于估算地上生物量（单位：kg）的异速生长方程基于以下两篇文献：1. Chen X.（2002）《澳大利亚北部桉属疏林稀树草原的碳平衡》，博士学位论文，查尔斯达尔文大学，达尔文，北领地；2. Williams R.J.、Zerihun A.、Montagu K.、Hoffman M.、Hutley L.B.、Chen X.（2005）《热带与亚热带桉属林地林木地上生物量估算的异速生长方程：构建通用预测模型》，《澳大利亚植物学杂志》，53卷：607-619。
