Table 3 Stem, branch, leaf and total AGB (Mg ha−1) of the C. lanceolata and C. sclerophylla stands from 2010 to 2013, Mean ± standard error (percentage of total AGB in each biomass compartment , n = 12 for C. lanceolata and n = 11 for C. sclerophylla)

From: A generalized algebraic difference approach allows an improved estimation of aboveground biomass dynamics of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Castanopsis sclerophylla forests
