I have conducted a field survey recently in a forest in Malaysia. I now have the data DBH and height of trees which I can use to estimate the volume of trees. Can anyone tell me how to convert the volume to biomass (in kg)? Should I multiply with some factors?

Thank you.

Unless you have local biomass equations for your area, you can use procedure as described here:
