Accurate biomass estimation of plantations and natural forests is a prerequisite for establishing regional carbon inventory datasets. Tree biomass may be estimated through destructive harvesting or non-harvest methods (Brown 1997). In the case of the non-destructively approach available generalized models are often used for estimating biomass in forests, agroforestry and plantation forestry (Brown and Schroeder 1999; Chave et al. 2001; Houghton et al. 2001). However, due to variations in plant architectures and complexity in associations of trees, biomass estimation through generalized models is fraught with errors (Ter-Mikaelian and Korzukhin 1997; Shepashenko et al. 1998; Brown and Schroeder 1999; De Oliveira and Mori 1999). Generalized models have often been used without consideration of the tree age or plantation age. Tree age is an important factor that influences biomass accumulation (Fatemi et al. 2011), suggesting the need for age-specific biomass models for precise estimation. 2b1af7f3a8
