CWD biomass survey with decay class assignment (Pinaceae)

Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Description

Systematic measurement of all fallen dead wood ≥10 cm diameter with assignment to decay classes based on structural characteristics and decomposition state. Volume calculated using cylinder equations and converted to biomass using species-specific wood densities.

Typical Equipment

• steel tape
• calinomet
• species-specific allometric equations

Output Measurements

• CWD volume
• CWD biomass
• decay class
