Aboveground biomass in seven tropical forest patches of Western-Africa: comparison of manual inventory and terrestrial laser scanning

Research paper Key message Aboveground biomass (AGB) increased from forest edge to forest interior in small forest patches of Western-Africa. In plots of 0.25 ha, AGB did not correlate with tree species richness or wood density. AGB in
