NOTES: |
"Volume equations were constructed for five species of mangrove trees on volcanic high islands of Micronesia in the north Pacific Ocean, where islands that span a distance of more than 3000 km from east to west are characterized by a gradient of rainfall from 3080 to 5250 mm/year and a range of typhoon frequency from less than one per century to several per decade. We also calculated mean annual increments for a subset of the trees. The inclusion of very large trees in the data set makes these volume equations unique..." |
