Allometric equations for orchard and vineyard trees: enhancing AFOLU-based climate change mitigation

Based on these findings, this review proposes a standardized methodological framework linking biometric measurements, species-specific allometric modeling, remote-sensing integration, and uncertainty analysis to derive orchard-specific emission and removal factors consistent with IPCC guidance. Broader adoption of such protocols would improve transparency and accuracy in national AFOLU inventories and strengthen recognition of perennial orchards as viable nature-based climate solutions that support national net-zero targets.
