The columned name with tree biomass (TB, in Mg ha−1) gives the total amount for the corresponding family. In the table, 1 represents diameter class with diameter at breast height <10 cm, and 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 represent diameter class of 10 cm–100 cm at 10-cm interval, respectively, and the last eleven represents for diameter class with larger than 100 cm.
