This Issue: Small Biomass Green Weight Conversion to Dry Weight and Some Other Good Things
BUT FIRST WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? Inventorying stands during a project analysis – Davis Mounger is seeking Any directives, cases, etc. about FS (US Forest Service) needs to update and ground truth stands in analysis before an EA (Environmental Analysis). He also needs anything about projects as time for updating forest inventory. Davis is m pretty sure there's some language in the FSM (Forest Service Manual) on this, but he cannot find it. He writes, mistakes in forest type, BA (basal area) age are all common down here. If you can assist, please contact Davis at wdmounger@yahoo.com
SMALL BIOMASS GREEN WEIGHT TO DRY WEIGHT CONVERSION – Last February, Shiva Shankar Pandey wrote, I am wondering to find conversion factors to estimate dry biomass from the fresh Biomass of the trees (less than 5 cm Diameter at breast height). If you have idea and information about research reports, articles, thesis related to some regression models or conversion factors applicable to the mixed species forest stand of Nepal, please kindly inform me. Here are some sites that may be of interest. If you know of others, please contact Shiva at shivaspandey@yahoo.com
