Description

Systematic measurement of individual sizes and abundances within defined community areas to calculate species richness, total abundance, biomass, and metabolic rate. Individual measurements are standardized by rescaling the smallest individual to unit values.

Typical Equipment

measurement tools for stem diameter
scales or other mass measurement tools
computational tools

Output Measurements

species richness
total abundance
total biomass
total metabolic rate
