Book Chapter
Inventory of Downed Dead Material Using Sampling with Varying Probability
2016
Overview
This chapter focuses on a relatively simple type of line intersect sampling (LIS) protocol that is readily adaptable to many forest inventory situations, so that the assumptions, field protocols, and estimating equations can be kept simple and clear. LIS is actually a probability proportional to size (PPS) design, and samples pieces of downed wood with probability proportional to their length. Moreover, the point on a piece where the sample line crosses is randomly selected along the length of the piece, and this offers opportunities to estimate properties such as volume per unit area with simplified measurements, and without any need to assume a specific taper or volume equation. One shortcoming of PPS sampling approaches such as LIS, point relascope sampling (PRS), and transect relascope sampling (TRS) is that sampling is proportional to a size that is correlated with volume, weight, and carbon or nutrient content but is not, in itself, of significant practical interest.
