Above ground biomass refers to the total mass of living organisms or organic matter present in a given area. There are various methods for estimating above ground biomass including allometric equations, harvesting and weighting, non-destructive sampling, remote sensing, LiDAR, imaging spectroscopy, and machine learning with data fusion. The document provides an example methodology that measures tree species attributes like diameter at breast height and uses an allometric equation to calculate above ground biomass per tree and per square meter.
