Baseline density and biomass equations were generated from 25, 2 m×2 m shrub demography plots, and allometric equations from [90].
a
Stems ≥1 cm dbh.
b
Substituted biomass and density for Corylus cornuta var. californica.
c
Substituted biomass and density for Vaccinium uliginosum.
d
Substituted one half the biomass of Vaccinium uliginosum. No stems reach 1 cm dbh.
t – trace; <1 stem/ha; <1 kg/ha.
