   You may be interested in the library of published and unpublished biomass
prediction equations in BIOPAK.  Most of these equations are for the Pacific
Northwest of North America, and all are for North American species.  Often there
are equations for several components of a species.  The BIOPAK software package
includes an editor for building new equation libraries for other geographic
areas.
   The BIOPAK WWW page is at:

The software runs on a PC and can be downloaded from this page using common web
browsers.

For modelling purpose I am interested in literature/data on
biomass distribution in shrub and tree species. I am specially
interested in the following species:
 - broadleaved trees; Acer pseudoplatanus, Betula pendula,
   Betula pubescens, Fagus sylvatica, Populus alba, Populus
   canescens, Populus nigra, Populus tremula, Quercus petraea,
   Quercus robur, Quercus rubra
 - coniferous trees; Pinus sylvestris, Pinus nigra, Pseudotsuga
   menziesii
 - shrubs; Crataegus monogyna, Crataegus laevigata, Euonymus
   europaeus, Frangula alnus (Rhamnus frangula), Prunus padus,
   Prunus serotina, Sorbus aucuparia

I welcome any reference to data on the amount of shoot biomass
differentiated into leaves/needles, branches and stem and/or
the amount of root biomass. Both at the level of the individual
shrub or tree as well as on stand level. So far I have references
mentioned in the work by Cannell (1982), data on Pinus sylvestris
published by Chroust (1985) and Vyskot (1983) and data on Fagus
sylvatica published by Hochbichler et al (1994) and Pellinen (1986).
