πŸ”¬ Data Source

Models calibrated from 2,626 teak trees across 14 plots in 7 age classes (3–26 years), Lewe Township, Naypyitaw Union Territory, Myanmar. Parameters fitted using CurveExpert Professional v2.7.3.

🎯 Target Users

Designed for three user groups: Researchers (model comparison & validation), Plantation Managers (carbon stock estimation & rotation planning), and Policymakers (national-scale projections & REDD+/NDC assessment).
