Tree Level1. FBA = Functional Branch AnalysisThe FBA model provides a simple way to reconstruct aspecific tree based on fractal (self repeating) assumption.This model is can be used to estimate biomass by nondestructivesampling. It can be applied to above ground aswell as below ground biomass.For more information please contact : Betha Lusiana(b.lusiana@cgiar.org)2. SLIM= Simple Light Interception ModelThe SLIM model computes canopy closure, an index of longterm light level, at any height above the ground within aforest canopy.
