*2011-12-04**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*

This Issue:*/Carbon Mapping and Allometric Equations (Part 3 of 3)/*and 
Some Other Good Things

*/Carbon Mapping and Allometric Equations (Part 3 of 3). /*Last 
month**Yogendra Kumar Karna wrote, "I am doing my MSc research in 
_Carbon mapping_ for tropical forests in Chitwan districts of Nepal. So 
I am desperately searching for _allometric equations_ of some of the 
major forest tree species of Nepal. These tree species are as following: 
Asna/Saj - /Terminalia tomentosa, /Bhalayo - /Semecarpus anacardium, 
/Botdhangeo - /Lagerstroemia parviflora, /Sal - /Shorea robusta, 
/Chilaun/e - Schima wallichii, /and Sindure - /Mallotus philippensis. 
/If someone will provide me these equations, I would be very grateful to 
them. Thanking you". Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you
