Shrnutí	Forest carbon stock estimation quantifies the amount of carbon stored in tree biomass and other forest components, typically expressed in tonnes of carbon per hectare. Formalized by Brown, Chave, and international bodies such as the IPCC and FAO, this method is foundational for climate change mitigation accounting, carbon credits, and monitoring progress toward climate commitments. Accurate carbon assessment enables identification of high-priority reforestation areas and verification of carbon offset projects.	Allometric equations predict tree above-ground or total biomass from easily measured tree dimensions—typically diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and wood density. Grounded in biological allometry (scaling laws) and codified by Chave, Niklas, and others, allometric equations are essential tools for rapid biomass assessment without tree harvesting. Used globally for carbon accounting, yield estimation, and ecosystem characterization.
