Average ovendry weight of the total tree biomass ranged from 2.97 to 517.33 kg. The average tree contained 71.38 percent of the total dry weight in the merchantable bole, 3.45 in the foliage and 25.17 in the topwood, small and large branches and twigs. Out of the seventeen regression models tested and evaluated for biomass estimation, an allometric model using two predictor variables provided the best estimates. Prediction equations based on this model and two others were derived in estimating fresh and ovendry weight of the whole tree and its components, viz., bole, topwood and large branches, stems and leaves. 650 04 $aScience and technology 650 04 $aBiomass 650 04 $aIpil-Ipil$xLeucaena leucocephala (LAM.) de wit 650 04 $aForestry 991 ## $wANALYTICS           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
