Abstract
The distribution of dry weight among six tree components is shown for balsam fir from 1 to 10 inches in diameter at breast height. Component dry weight and total standing crop are estimated and compared for a 0.2—acre plot using methods based on every—tree summation, stand tables, and several short—cut techniques based on “average” trees. It is concluded that the average tree approach is useful only where a rough estimate of total biomass is desired.
