Description

Systematic measurement of individual sizes and abundances within defined community areas to calculate species richness, total abundance, biomass, and metabolic rate. Individual measurements are standardized by rescaling the smallest individual to unit values.

Typical Equipment

• measurement tools for stem diameter
• scales or other mass measurement tools
• computational tools

Output Measurements

• species richness
• total abundance
• total biomass
• total metabolic rate
