Allometric Modelling of the Stem Carbon Content of Rhizophora mucronata in a Tropical Mangrove Ecosystem

Table 5

Measured and predicted stem carbon content of Rhizophora mucronata.

Measured stem carbon content (kg)	Predicted stem carbon content (kg)	value
2.53 ± 0.76^a; (1.3–3.6)	2.49 ± 0.67^a; (1.3–4.3)	0.731

The data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. The values within parentheses indicate the range of variation of the measured and predicted stem carbon content.^aMeasured and predicted stem carbon content of Rhizophora mucronata at 95%level of significance. p >0.05 indicates that there is no significant difference in the actual stem carbon content and the predicted stem carbon content from the developed model at 95% level of significance.
