Hi Amiel, I would recommend the comparative yield (CY) method for non-destructive biomass sampling. The following citation provides an overview of the methodology. Several of my colleagues have used the technique for effective long-term sampling in rangeland systems. Friedel, M. H., Chewings, V.

Re: [ECOLOG-L] Loss of field-based courses

there are not that many jobs DOING field ecology. Most people with degrees in field ecology are doing permit work of some kind. This is why you must take some policy courses while an undergrad. Also, jobs in the govt are fisheries, wildlife, or forestry. They are not field ecology. Now, if the
