BIOMASS TABLES FOR ACACIA MANGIUM GROWN IN THE PLANTATIONS IN BANGLADESH

Abstract

Biomass tables were prepared for Acacia mangium grown in the plantations in Bangladesh. Equations were selected to estimate the green weight of the whole tree, weights of the stem, branch and leaves including twigs. Diameter at breast height (D), green biomass weight (B) and height (H) relationships were determined. It was observed that the logarithmic function to the base e gives a good fit model. Conversion factors were also determined to estimate the air-dry and oven-dry weights of the biomass components.
