DBH on field and biomass model

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. y = 78.903x - 1377.5 R 2 = 0.631 y = 1.6142x 2 - 78.291x + 698.52 R 2 = 0.929 -4000 -2000 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 14000 16000 18000 50 100 150 DBH cm D iffe re n c e f ie ld bi oma s s mod e l bi oma s s Plot A Linear Plot A Poly.

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 70 pattern.
