Abstract

For 25 northern Rocky Mountain shrub species, linear regressions are presented for total aboveground weight on basal stem diameter (average r 2 of 0.91) and for leaf weight on basal stem diameter (average r 2 of 0.74). The percentage of stem-wood weight in diameter classes of 0 to 0.5 cm, 0.5 to 2 cm, and 2 to 5 cm varies with basal stem diameter and species growth characteristics (as shown in figures). For these classes, diameters of stem wood averaged 0.21 cm, 0.76 cm, and 2.37 cm, respectively; however, some species differed significantly from these averages. Coefficients of variation ranged from 60 to 340 for shrub weight per unit area sampled in 12 stands. Some distributions were positively skewed. Implications for sampling are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
