Biomass determinations in singleleaf pinyon (Pinus monophylla) - Utah juniper 

 (Juniperus osteosperma) stands in Nevada indicate that stem diameter and average 

 crown diameter are the tree measurements most highly correlated with ovendry 

 weights. The equations and tables developed provide a means for estimating the 

 total aboveground biomass as well as the weights for the various size fractions by 

 species. The tables can also be used to estimate the cordwood and slash resulting from 

 fuelwood harvesting operations.
