CRAN/METACRAN Version

The package

The BIOMASS package allows users to estimate above ground biomass/carbon and its uncertainty in tropical forests.

The main implemented steps are as follows :

  1. retrieving and correcting tree taxonomy;
  2. estimating wood density and its uncertainty;
  3. building height-diameter models;
  4. estimating above ground biomass/carbon at stand level with associated uncertainty;
  5. managing tree and plot coordinates;
  6. predicting landscape maps of AGBD with associated uncertainties using LiDAR products.

For more information, see Réjou-Méchain et al. (2017)
