  Fact sheet. Project: Development of biomass estimation models for carbon monitoring in selected vegetation types of Tanzania

  2013

  The carbon benefits of any forest carbon project are estimated on the basis of changes of carbon stocks in different biomass pools and such changes may be determined through continuous forest inventories, possibly combined with growth estimates, and the use of models for biomass estimation, i.e. allometric biomass equations.
