4.4.1 Comparison between field and biomass model
The difference value between trees biomass resulted from field and model was used to analyst the correlation of DBH and total height that
significantly influence on trees biomass.
4.4.1.1 DBH on field and biomass model
The curve pattern of Figure 4.29 - Figure 4.31 show the linear correlation between trees biomass and DBH occurred when the trees diameter reach 60 cm. It
means that the diameter will significantly influence the biomass. The increasing of trees biomass in forest cover type A followed by the trees diameter, when trees
diameter already reach 60 cm.

Figure 4.32 DBH on field and model trees biomass comparison of forest cover type D.
The correlation trend of cover type A is different from the pattern of cover types B and C. The diameter in forest cover type B and C will significantly
influence the trees biomass increasing when the trees diameter reaches 30 cm Figure 4.30 and Figure 4.31
The correlation curves of forest cover type D is constant flat, means that trees diameter give no significant change on trees biomass increasing Figure
4.32. Forest cover D is a cover type with agro-forestry system that dominated with cacao. The homogeneity of cacao plantation determines this curve regression

pattern.
