OK, Are there any guesses or opinions on what percentages to use for different types of trees?

There's a huge number of factors; number of trees per acre, what kind of tree, what season, what amount of humidity they have (that can cause an aditional 10db of fade fast in certain conditions), how old, how tall etc. A formula to calculate all of those would be unnecessarily complex so a percentage based on matching field results is the easiest solution.

    I've been using 500% for the same reason....that's what got me

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's just a statistical fudge factor,
    but I was hoping to be a little more scientific about the
    adjustments in the future.

    Real tree studying types have formulas based on the number of
    stems per square area and a sampling of the diameter of said
    stems.  "500" is on the right order of magnitude to be trees per
    acre....so I was curious.

    To my knowledge there is no real unit of measurement, that's one
    of the values which I've set (to 499% in most heavily-treed
    regions - no round numbers so it's obviously something I changed,
    not a default program value) to make RM's estimates better match
    results which were gotten in the real world.

        Does anybody know what the unit of measurement is for the

        The column says (%) at the top, but I'm wondering percent of
        what?
