Abstract:
Relationships between land-use change and above ground biomass (AGB) change across the study region in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, but there remains uncertainty about the variability of AGB and associated carbon stocks in the various forest formations we hold as reference for historical comparisons. Specifically, how do the rare cover types of mature tabuleiro forests and mussununga forest vary in structure and biomass across the study region?
