The Allometry of Coarse Root Biomass: Log-Transformed Linear Regression or Nonlinear Regression?
Precise estimation of root biomass is important for understanding carbon stocks and dynamics in forests. Traditionally, biomass estimates are based on allometric scaling relationships between stem diameter and coarse root biomass calculated using linear regression (LR) on log-transformed data. Recen...
