Roadmap for component aggregation. Generic calculation pathway for components of the target species. Component lookup table names appear in large rectangles. Green backgrounds indicate estimates were derived from biomass equations, then converted to C. White backgrounds denote lookup tables resulting from the aggregation process. Components with yellow backgrounds and a "v" following the component name are estimates from volume equations that were first multiplied by density to produce biomass estimates, then converted to C. Numbers after component names act as markers to separate lookup tables from different pathways. A range of numbers marks where a pathway was condensed to simplify the roadmap. Component names followed by "f" mark the final lookup table for a component after aggregation. Processing steps shown here in small boxes are addition (+) and comparison (OR). All steps were not performed for each species because prediction equations did not exist in every case.
