# Pterocarpus lucens

1 equations apply. Each output lists them most specific first: fitted on this species, on a variety of it, pooled fits that included it, then its genus and family. Within each step, equations the authors advised against go last, then those read from compilations; more trees come first. The order shows how specific the evidence is, not which equation predicts best.

Wood density 0.75 g/cm³, estimated from 5 samples in 3 studies by the [Global Wood Density Database v.2](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16919509) (Fischer et al. 2026, https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.70860; CC BY 4.0).

## Aboveground biomass

1. Tena et al. 2026 (this species): Fitted on this species; 12 trees; Read from the original paper.
   - [Pterocarpus lucens aboveground biomass, M1](https://treeallometry.org/equations/tena-2026-pterocarpus-lucens-m1/), Tena et al. 2026: Pterocarpus lucens, Ethiopia; inputs DBH; 12 trees; not fully checked.
     > Not fully checked: Foliage coverage is inconsistent: §2.3 (p. 54) sums stump, stem and branches, whereas §2.5 says leaves were determined when measuring total aboveground biomass. This record follows the explicit dry-mass sum and excludes foliage; confirm foliage coverage before treating the prediction as complete aboveground biomass or adding a separate foliage estimate.
