Contribution of understory species to total ecosystem aboveground and belowground biomass in temperate Pinus pinaster Ait. forests

► We quantified the contribution of understory species to forest ecosystem biomass. ► We tested effective tools for estimating above- and belowground biomass. ► We built allometric relationships to predict biomass for five understory species. ► Understory represented about 27.4% of belowground bioma...
