About biomass calculations in Heureka
In Heureka the amount of biomass is caclulated with different functions depending on tree species, tree age and tree fraction (what part of the tree).
Functions used
Established stands, above ground
Fir established stands (i.e. mean heigth ≥ 7m), you can choose between Petersson 1999[1]
Young stands, above ground
Claesson et al 2001[2]
Stumps and roots ≥ 2 mm
Biomass in stumps and and roots are calculated with Petersson & Ståhl (2006)[3]. These functions include roots with a diameter ≥ 2 mm. Today there are no biomass for stumps and roots in young stands, but starting from Heureka version 2.4 Petersson & Ståhl (2006) are used also in young stands.
Functions used when selected Marklund for above-ground biomass in established stands
Correction for other species than pine, spruce or birch
The functions desribed above are available for pine, spruce and birch. For other broad-leaves than birch, the birhc functions are used but then calibrated using conversion factors between the subject tree species "normal" wood density and the wood density for birch according to [1].
