  1. Different letter indicates significance difference while similar letter showed no significant difference of biomass among niches at p < 0.05
  2. Number 1, 2 and 3 refer to age class 1–2, 3–4, and 5–6, respectively
  3. AGB aboveground biomass, TAGB Total aboveground biomass across niche, TBGB total belowground biomass, RB Riverine bamboo, WL woodlots and HS Homestead
