• Overall feedback:

Well written, relevant topic. Overall, the paper is carefully presented. The method section requires more detail imo, for the manuscript to be more deeply reviewed. Right now, because of a lack of information on some accounts it was not possible to correctly review it imo (therefore I also did not read the discussion in too great detail at this stage). I suggest a major revision.

-Authors should provide recommendations for how to improve agb measurements given the practical implementation and scope of their article, and this agb measurement methodology (e.g. forest carbon projects).

-Authors should clarify and potentially rephrase/concretize their objectives (L103-107)and then link it better to the methodology and data collection that was necessary for reaching their objectives.

-Authors should consider whether the introduction and article in general should speak about a larger context of tropical forests (or even ‘and savannas’ as they mention in first line of intro), or specifically target miombo woodlands as the title suggests. Though I understand that tropical forests in general might be relevant since equations are used in miombo from tropical forests more widely, it is important to clarify in the text the distinction imo, and also clearly introduce miombo as a specific type of dry forest at some point in the intro already. I also think the authors should acknowledge and provide info on the available other destructive tree datasets / equations for miombo systems. Please see my specific feedback on that.

-Authors should provide more information on how they tackled the fact that their data comes from three different sites (statistically / ecologically)?

-Authors should provide more detailed information on the methodology used for the forest inventory data. See specific comments.

-Authors should explain why other allometric equations from miombo (destructive tree harvest datasets) have not been included in the comparison and/or include them throughout the analysist o make it more robust and exhaustive.
