| AG_BIOMASS_NWT | | | PTAQ (bracken fern) is the major (>95% by mass) of the non-woody species found at UMBS. Destructive harvest of PTAQ fronds was used to develop the relationship 'frond Dry Mass (g) = 0.0044*(l*w)+1.6353' where l = frond length (cm) and w = frond width (cm), R2=0.81. PTAQ biomass was estimated in the 1.13 ha plot surrounding the flux tower by measuring frond dimensions in 36 - 1 m2 plots. | | | |
| AG_BIOMASS_SF | | | Shrubs are an insignificant component of UMBS forest understory and were not measured. | | | |
| AG_BIOMASS_SW | | | Shrubs are an insignificant component of UMBS forest understory and were not measured. | | | |
| AG_BIOMASS_TF | | | Determined from autumnal leaf litter and green leaf SLA. Years 1997 - 2001, 61 plots. Years 2002 - 2003, 31 plots. Years 2004 - 2006, 51 plots. | | | |
| AG_BIOMASS_TT | | | | | | |
| AG_BIOMASS_TW | | | Woody Biomass = a*D^b where D = DBH (diam. at 1.37 m) and a and b are species specific coefficients. Multiply result by woody C concentration to obtain AG_BIOMASS_TW. Species specific coefficients for a*D^b are: ACRU a=0.03117, b=2.778; BEPA a=0.0301, b=2.8387; FAGR a=0.1892, b=2.3097; PIST a=0.0408, b=2.5735; POGR4 a=0.1387, b=2.3498; POTR a=0.0589, b=2.6235; QURU a=0.0398, b=2.7734. For years 1998 and 2001 all trees (>7700 trees) in 61 plots (1 - 1.13 ha plot + 60 - 0.08 ha plots) were directly measured for DBH. For years 1999, 2000, and 2002 DBH was estimated for all trees based on band dendrometers installed on ~ 40% of trees of DBH>= 10 cm in 31 plots. For year 2003, DBH was directly measured on an additional 20 - 0.08 ha plots and DBH estimated from band dendrometers in 31plots. For years 2004 - 2006, DBH estimated from band dendrometers installed on ~ 40% of trees of DBH>= 10 cm in 51 plots. | | | |

| CR_BIOMASS | | | Coarse root biomass determined initially in 1999 from soil cores (18 plots with 5 pooled 5 cm dia. soil cores per site). Initial 1999 CR biomass agreed closely with regression of above biomass density versus below ground biomass density found in Cairns et al, 1997, Oecologia, 111: 1-11. A linear regression was developed using the Cairns et al data along with UMBS data where below ground biomass density (kg/ha) = 0.2523*ABD+.6923, where ABD = above ground biomass density (kg/ha). | | | |
