|
|
|
Stated minimum diameter in methodology not to be greater than 3 inches. | |
|
|
Description of tools used for height, diameter, and plot measurement. | ||
|
|
The methodology shall include a set of standards for height and diameter measurements. | ||
|
|
A description of the rules used to stratify the vegetation. | ||
|
|
A description of plot layout. | ||
|
|
The methodology shall include all trees regardless of current merchantability to be included in the sampling design. | ||
| The methodolgy will include a description of the allometric equation used to estimate the whole tree biomass (bole, branches, leaves, and roots) from bole diameter measurements. Any diversion from the provided equation will need to be approved by the Registry. | |||
|
|
The Registry recomments the sampling methodology prepared by Brown et. al (2004). This methodology is referenced in Annex E. Alternative methodologies will need to be reviewed and approved by the Registry. | ||
|
|
Stated minimum breast height diameter in methodology not to be greater than 3". Description of how top diameter is derived. | ||
|
|
Description of tools used for height measurement, diameter measurement, and plot measurement. | ||
|
|
The methodology shall include a set of standards for height and diameter measurements. | ||
|
|
A description of plot layout (May be the same layout for Tree Biomass). | ||
|
|
The methodology shall include all trees regardless of current merchantability to be including in the sampling design. | ||
|
|
|
The Registry recommends the litter and duff methodology prepared by Brown et. al (2004). This methodology is referenced in Annex E. Alternative methodologies will need to be reviewed and approved by the Registry. | |
|
|
|
|
Stated minimum average diameter in methodology not to be greater than 6" for pieces of dead wood at least 10" in length. If the average diameters is greater than 16", the minimum length for reporting not greater than 6". Anything not meeting the measurement criteria for lying dead wood will be considered litter, an optional category. |
| Description of tools used for length measurement, diameter measurement, and plot measurement. | |||
| The methodology shall include a set of standards for height and length measurements. | |||
|
|
A description of plot layout (May be the same as the layout for Tree Biomass). | ||
| The methodology shall include all trees regardless of current merchantabilty to be included in the sampling design. | |||
|
|
Description of methodology used to derive density estimates for each species (group) by density class. |
