Table 1 Woody biomass components included within the national definition of biomass considered by each data source, and corresponding correction factor applied to broadleaves and coniferous species, for volume and increment data. The final correction factor reported on this table is partially based on the analysis of information reported by the literature (i.e., Gschwantner et al. 2019) and partially derived from an ex-post adjustment performed by JRC

From: Volume, increment, and aboveground biomass data series and biomass conversion and expansion factors for the main forest types of EU Member States
