Abstract

Several allometric equations were generated for biomass and carbon content for Cedrela odorata trees. Twenty-seven trees were selected from tree different forest plantations in the states of Jalisco and Colima. The best trees were carefully chosen for felling, partitioning, and measuring in the field. Samples from the stem, branches and foliage were collected and sent to the laboratory in order to estimate their biomass and carbon content. The results from each sample were used to the different sections of the tree.
