Mapping aboveground tree biomass at the stand level from inventory information: test cases in Newfoundland and Quebec

A method of estimating and mapping aboveground tree biomass (AGTB) was developed using provincially available forest inventory databases. More specifically, AGTB conversion tables were devised to e...
