Abstract

Aboveground biomass was determined for yellow-poplar(Liriodendron tulipifera L.) trees 6 to 28 inches d. b. h. growingin natural, uneven-aged mountaincovestandsin western North Carolina.Specific gravity, moisture content, and green weight per cubic foot are presented for the total tree and its components. Tables developed from regression equations show weight and volume of the total tree and its components by d. b. h.and total height class.

Keywords

Biomass, component proportions, Liriodendron tulipiferaL., prediction equations, volume, weight.
