Abstract

Knowledge of the plant biomass comprising a forest community is important to many aspects of multiple-use management. Direct measurement of biomass, however, is expensive and time-consuming to under-take each time biomass information would be useful. Fortunately, other measurements that can be made in the field less expensively or more easily can be used for estimating biomass.
