Table 2 Regression equations and r 2 values used to calculate grass, black sagebrush, live PJ and dead PJ biomass and the percent carbon (C) within each plant type for determining kilograms of C
Plant type | Model | r 2 | % C |
|---|---|---|---|
Grass | Biomass = 0.566 * % cover m-2 | 0.96 | 40.84 (0.41) |
Black sagebrush | Biomass = 12.132 * % cover m-2 | 0.90 | 45.55 (0.51) |
Live Piñon | Biomass = 11.41 * (RCD * 0.1)^2.6664) | NA | 46.14 (0.43) |
Juniper | Biomass = 8.256 * (RCD * 0.1)^2.8058) | NA | 45.64 (0.54) |
Dead Piñon | Biomass = (Live Biomass - (1.853 *(RCD * 0.1)^2.0268)) | NA | 46.14 (0.43) |
