Individual tree biomass by components for small black spruce trees growing on the wetlands of the Boreal and Taiga Plains of Canada

New tree mensuration data and biomass component data from destructive sampling of 679 trees, were collected at 58 black spruce boreal wetland sites within the Boreal Plains and Taiga Plains of Canada. These data have been used to develop new allometric equations to predict biomass components from total tree volume. The equations are key to modelling treed peatlands in the CaMP and thus contribute to improving accuracy in modelled C stocks and flux estimates for Canada’s treed peatlands.
