- Statement
- Coarse woody debris sampling:<br> Coarse woody debris (CWD) was sampled at the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation core 1 ha site in 2014 - 2016. The core 1 hectare was subdivided in 25 (20 m x 20 m) subplots. Within each subplot, the diameter at the base (thickest part), the top (thinnest part) and the length of all CWD pieces (> 10 cm diameter) were measured. Void space was not recorded and was assigned a zero for all CWD pieces. Decay class classification and wood density based on Baker and Chao (2011) were recorded for each CWD piece. <br> Calculation of coarse woody debris volume, mass and biomass<br> The volume and biomass of CWD pieces were calculated using the formulas outlined in Baker and Chao (2011). The volume of the CWD segment was computed using the Smalian's formula: V = H x (S + s) / 2, where S and s are the diameters at the base and top of the segment, respectively and H is the length of the CWD piece. Biomass was calculated by the volume x wood density x the proportion of solid wood (S = 1 – proportion void space).
