Ents, The Canadian NFI biomass model continues to be a topic of interest. I decided to compare CO2 equivalency calculated through FIA-COLE, NFI, and Jenkins, and returned directly by iTree Design. The attachment shows how the models compare. I plan to do more testing with these models and will repor...

OMG, Brian,

You are unstoppable. We've got to figure out a way to get this published. It is a treasure trove.

Brian,

For what it’s worth, the N. Red oak on the Deerfield River watershed is now 129.8 feet, courtesy of Jared Lockwood’s last measurement.

ENTS, I came across the following biomass calculator. https://nfi.nfis.org/en/biomass_calc I passed it on to my friend Dr. Tony D'Amato, Director of the University of Vermont's Forestry Program. Tony and I are exploring the tool. It can be applied to many eastern species including white pine, sugar ...

Ents,

Please find attached a slightly updated version of the Tree Carbon Calculator workbook.

Bob

Ents,

Please see the attached carbon calculator. It pretty much speaks for itself. I won't attempt to summarize it here.

Bob

George,

Good to see these numbers for Delaware. I've gained a new respect for N. red oak. It achieves greater heights across a wider geographical range than I used to believe.

Elijah, The Grandmother Tree in Pack Forest was once reported by SUNY foresters to be 175 feet tall. I met the measurers in a late 1990s visit ofy the Foresters Steward Guild (which I was a member of) to Pack Forest. My friend Jack Sobon had measured the tree with a transit some years before to 145 ...

Brian, Your superb summaries have given me a different picture than the many reports on separate sites spread over years. Your summaries are answering the question of what does it all add up to. It suggests that despite the usual forces at work to reduce the average of our forests, a surprising numb...

Ray,

Any interest in going into the beaver caps and hats business with me?
