Hanoi, Dec 2007

Within the frame work of the ministerial research project titled "Forest pricing", RCFEE has completed allometric equations for carbon estimation for 5 major tree species which are being planted widely in Vietnam. Those species are Acacia mangium, A. auriculiformis; A. hybrid; Pinus massoniana and P. merkusii. These equations are developed to estimate carbon stock in biomass of plantations based on diameter at breast height (DBH).
