CONCLUSIONS 



The results of this study indicate that the aboveground 

 biomass of pinyon and juniper is closely correlated with 

 average crown diameter for both species, and stem 

 diameter at stump height for pinyon and diameter at breast 

 height for juniper. These findings agree in part with those 

 reported by Storey (1969). Although his study evaluated 

 each tree variable separately, our analysis indicated that 

 the precision of the estimates was improved by using 

 multiple regression techniques.
