This Issue: Terrestrial LiDAR and Urban Trees and Some Other Good Things

BUT FIRST, WON’T YOU PLEASE HELP? Legacy Regression Programs Sought - Dr. Tim Gregoire, Yale University, writes. “In 1958, Lew Grosenbaugh published a USDA Forest Service Occasional Paper 158 with the title "The elusive formula of best fit: a comprehensive new machine program". It was advertising a new service: a regression program written in Fortran to run on the IBM 704 Electronic Data Processing Machine. It would fit all possible regressions and could accommodate up to 9 "independent" variables and a maximum of 500 observations. This was superseded in 1967 by REX--Fortran-4 System, that Lew wrote about in USDA Forest Service Research paper PSW-44. Then concurrent with his ongoing development of 3P sampling, he developed "STX--Fortran-4 Program for estimates of tree populations from 3P sample-tree-measurements". An early reference is USDA Forest Service Research Paper PSW-13, Revised, published in 1967. Lew would famously, or infamously, install STX on university mainframes in person and without the aid of the local computer technicians. I believe Harold Burkhart recalls when he did so at Virginia Tech. Later, Jim Space put out STXMOD. I wonder whether there are any legacy versions of these programs still around. If you can assist, please contact Tim at timothy.gregoire@yale.edu.

FEEDBACK - SMALL BIOMASS GREEN WEIGHT TO DRY WEIGHT CONVERSION (Re NRM for 30 June 2013) George Wooten, Appeal list, writes “Many of the biomass conversion methods cited use remote sensing for inventory, followed by converting the area of each forest type to an estimate of biomass. For calculating woody biomass this calculation is problematic. Many biomass calculations were designed for purposes other than wood production, and so there are few published figures to accurately factor the percentage of wood and non-wood, even if the forest type is known. In addition, this method does not account for changing amounts of wood at different successional stages. An alternative method that averages the growth rate over time is to use mean annual increment figures for dominant trees. This eliminates the need to factor out non-woody growth and also puts the answer in terms of what the sustaining yield might be - a yearly basis rather than simply what one might get from a single harvest. This method is described in: Wooten, George; Demyan, Dave. 2007+ Woody biomass availability calculations for the Methow Valley, Washington ‐ a second approximation. Floradora Farms.15 p. Results are comparable within a factor of about 2 to two other methods - one determined from biomass sale receipts and another determined by measuring the amount of non-harvestable remainder found in slash piles.” Thanks for the feedback George.
