Pasoh


Aboveground Biomass Data

The Paosh plot is 6-ha, rectangle shape with 200 m X 300m. All living trees larger than 5 cm in DBH (diameter at breast height) have been censused since 1994 (Hoshizaki et al. 2004). Aboveground biomass (AGB) of living trees were calculated using allometric equations generated by Kato et al. (1978).
