Table 3. Multi-species model using wood specific gravity.

Multi-species aboveground biomass (AGB), belowground biomass (BGB), and total biomass (TB) model using six study species. Left panel shows models using diameter at breast height (DBH; cm) and wood specific gravity (WSG) and left panel shows models using basal diameter (BD; cm) and WSG. Models: ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’, coefficients for the species-specific allometric regression models in ln(y) = a + b x ln(x) + c x ln(z), where y is either AGB, BGB, or TB and x is either DBH or BD, and z is WSG. R2, the adjusted R2; RMSE, root mean squared error; AICc, the second-order Akaike’s information criterion.
