Jenny, That's interesting about calculating biomass with a prism. Right now I only tally how much cordwood and board feet I'm marking since the tops are free for my biomass crews. But hopefully prices will increase in the future so that it will be worth my while to calculate the total tonnage of biomass.
Mike ENTS, Okay, I'm really irritated after 3 days of talking 90% of the time about soil and drainage in this Forest Ecology workshop. I KNOW this is important, but what about everything else??? We don't don't about mice or voles or birds or deer or moose, or insects, or even the bacteria or micro organisms that break down the organic matter. Very superficial coverage of species interaction. There was an incomprehensible hour talking about calculating biomass with a prism. And THEN, to top it all off, one guy in the class said "gross! that's so dirty!" when I picked up a gull feather, and someone else chimed in "birds are so dirty". I told them they had no idea what they were talking about. And there are 2 more days....I have to go eat dinner with these people now. AAAAH!
