Evaluation of techniques for determining the density of fine woody debris /

Evaluated various techniques for determining the density (i.e., bulk density) of fine woody debris during forest inventory activities. It was found that only experts in dead wood inventory may be able to identify fine woody debris stages of decay. Suggests various future research directions such as development of a 2-class fine woody debris decay class system.Format not distributed to depository libraries."February 2010"--p. 2 of cover.Cover title.Includes bibliographical references (p. 17-18).Evaluated various techniques for determining the density (i.e., bulk density) of fine woody debris during forest inventory activities.
