Handbook for inventorying surface fuels and biomass in the Interior West
Abstract
Comprehensive procedures for inventorying weight per unit area of living and dead surface vegetation are presented to facilitate estimation of biomass and appraisal of fuels. The authors show how to conduct fieldwork and estimate weight per unit area of downed woody material, forest floor litter and duff, herbaceous vegetation, shrubs, and small conifers. Weights by species are determined for shrubs and small conifers. Coverage of shrubs and herbaceous vegetation are estimated. The several sampling methods involve the counting and measuring diameters of downed woody pieces that intersect vertical sampling planes, comparing quantities of litter and herbaceous vegetation against standard plots that are clipped and weighed, tallying shrub stems by basal diameter classes, tallying conifers by height classes, and measuring duff depth. The procedures apply most accurately in the Interior West; however, techniques for herbaceous vegetation, litter, and downed woody material apply anywhere. A computer program and card punching instructions are included for processing inventory data.

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.
