Table 4 Carbon fractions of Douglas-fir biomass components of eight trees from a 10-year-old stand at Southland

From: Carbon fraction of Pinus radiata biomass components within New Zealand

Biomass component	Carbon fraction (± se) (g C g⁻¹dm)
Biomass component	Mean	Minimum	Maximum
Needles	0.518 (0.003)	0.506	0.530
Live branches	0.513 (0.003)	0.503	0.523
Dead branches	0.521 (0.003)	0.508	0.529
Stem wood	0.502 (0.001)	0.496	0.506
Stem bark	0.534 (0.003)	0.520	0.543

Carbon is expressed per unit dry matter (dm) at 70 °C
