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.
