Scatter plots for of predicted and observed values of AGB based on logarithmic transformed allometric model with plant height (H) alone as predictor variable for reed marsh.

Verification of selected AGB estimate model with plant height alone as predictor variable by comparing it and a new model with literature data on larger scale added.

💻 #AllometricEquations for estimating above- and below-ground #Biomass of #PhragmitesAustralisMarshes.
Characteristics:
1️⃣ Divided into saltwater marshes and freshwater marshes.
2️⃣ Using plant height as the sole predictor.
3️⃣ It is a power-law allometric model.

The site locations of field and literature data for reed marshes. The pentagram indicates freshwater reed marshes, and the rotundity indicates salt reed marshes.

Estimation of #VegetationBiomass is critical for estimating #TerrestrialEcosystem #CarbonStocks, but that for #Herbaceous #Marshes remains limited. Thus, Xianglong Jin et al. explored the #AllometricEquations for estimating above- and below-ground biomass of #Reed marshes.
