Susana Barreiro & Mart-Jan Schelhaas 
Forest Inventory-based Projection Systems for Wood and Biomass Availability 

This book provides detailed descriptions of the forest biomass projection systems used in 22 countries in Europe and North America, as well as four European-wide systems. Separate chapters focus on the concepts of estimation of availability of woody biomass, compare and classify the different projection systems, and discuss the challenges and opportunities for the further development of these systems.
