%X at the el zapote ejido in the "sierra de huautla" biosphere reserve in the state of morelos, mexico, twelve quercus magnoliaefolia n¨¦e trees were selected and their above-ground biomass determined. the proposed allometric model was expressed as: b = 0.0345 * dbh2.9334, where b is biomass (kg) and dbh is diameter at breast height (cm), with a coefficient of determination (r2= 0.98; po.001). in addition, above-ground biomass was estimated by a multiple linear regression based on basal area (ba), specific gravity of wood (sgw) and tree height (h). a high proportion of the biomass variation was explained by basal area alone. sgw and h did not significantly increase the accuracy of the models. the average percentage of carbon in q. magnoliaefolia trees was 47.14 with values of 46.29 % for the bole, 46.83 % for branches and 48.31 % for foliage. the average proportion of the components of the species studied was 62.5 % for the bole, 27.8 % for branches and 9.6 % for foliage.
