Where, LWBC = living woody biomass carbon, OLBC = other living biomass carbon, CDWBC = coarse dead wood biomass carbon, ULBC = undergrowth and litter biomass carbon, FA = fallow age, DIS = distance (from the nearest control forest site), SL = slope, PS = patch size, SOC = soil organic carbon.
*DF— Degree of Freedom, LL— Log Likelihood, AIC—Akaike Information Criterion corrected for small sample size. **Values in the bold indicate the most influential model describing the variation in biomass carbon recovery.
