Table 1 Live-tree carbon (C) ranges and uncertainty for northwest Oregon (NWOR)

From: Estimates of live-tree carbon stores in the Pacific Northwest are sensitive to model selection

Positive correlation

Trees 3 to 66 cm diameter at breast height (DBH)

 

Approach 1: No corrections

Approach 2: Developmental DBH range

Approach 3: With corrections
