Estimating the Weight of Crown Segments for Old-Growth Douglas-Fir and Western Hemlock (Classic Reprint) by J. A. Kendall Snell Pdf

Excerpt from Estimating the Weight of Crown Segments for Old-Growth Douglas-Fir and Western Hemlock Equations were developed for predicting weight of continuous live crown, total live crown, dead crown, any segment of live crown, and individual branches for old-growth Douglas-fir (pseudotsuga menziesii (mirb.) Franco) and western hem lock (tsuga heterophylla (raf.) Sarg.) trees. A branch method and a ratio method were developed for estimating the weight of crown segments. Equations were based on data from 32 Douglas-fir and 29 western hemlock trees from the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southwestern Washington. An additional 49 Douglas-fir and 50 western hemlock were selected for validating the models. For predicting weight of a segment of crown, the branch method was less biased and more accurate than the ratio method. The branch method is recommended for felled trees because it more easily accommodates the large amount of break age ln the crown of felled old - growth trees. Keywords: Crown weights, estimates, moisture content (wood), old-growth stands, Douglas-fir, western hemlock. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate estimators to predict total crown weight and weight of any segment of crown for old-growth felled and bucked Douglas-fir and western hemlock trees. Equations were developed for pre dicting weight of continuous live crown, total live crown, dead crown, any seg ment of live crown, and individual branches.

Forest Canopies by Margaret Lowman,H. Bruce Rinker Pdf

The treetops of the world's forests are where discovery and opportunity abound, however they have been relatively inaccessible until recently. This book represents an authoritative synthesis of data, anecdotes, case studies, observations, and recommendations from researchers and educators who have risked life and limb in their advocacy of the High Frontier. With innovative rope techniques, cranes, walkways, dirigibles, and towers, they finally gained access to the rich biodiversity that lives far above the forest floor and the emerging science of canopy ecology. In this new edition of Forest Canopies, nearly 60 scientists and educators from around the world look at the biodiversity, ecology, evolution, and conservation of forest canopy ecosystems. Comprehensive literature list State-of-the-art results and data sets from current field work Foremost scientists in the field of canopy ecology Expanded collaboration of researchers and international projects User-friendly format with sidebars and case studies Keywords and outlines for each chapter
