We estimated the total aboveground tree biomass (TAGB) in an old-growth primary forest and in a regenerating forest that had been selectively logged in 1958, both within the tropical rainforest of the Pasoh Forest Reserve in Peninsular Malaysia. This was achieved by comparing aerial photographs with...
