Database of treewise volume- and biomass equations according to diameter at breast height and/or height includes equations for common European tree species. Equations will be used when estimating biomass expansion factors for major tree species. Database is compiled as a joint project with University of Edinburg, Finnish Forest Research Institute and partners of COST E21 Action.
Tables are published in the Dimitris Zianis, Petteri Muukkonen, Raisa Mäkipää, Maurizio Mencuccini. Biomass and stem volume equations for tree species in Europe. Silva Fennica Monographs 4, 63 p. See figure about a sample of compiled equations.

• Appendix A (excel-file)
• Appendix BC (excel-file)

These appendix tables are extended and updated versions of those published previously in Dimitris Zianis, Petteri Muukkonen, Raisa Mäkipää, Maurizio Mencuccini. Biomass and stem volume equations for tree species in Europe. Silva fennica Monographs 4.
