Carbon concentration of standing and downed woody detritus: Effects of tree taxa, decay class, position, and tissue type (2013, methodology): “First, the volume of a piece of woody detritus is estimated using a general volume model (Woodall et al., 2011) or one specific to a species of dead wood (Fraver et al., 2007) with deductions where appropriate for missing tree components (e.g., tree tops; Domke et al., 2011).”
Small mammal responses to coarse woody debris distribution at different spatial scales in managed and unmanaged boreal forests (2012, methodology): “Volumes of logs were calculated using the conic–paraboloid formula (Fraver et al., 2007) which reduces bias caused by irregular forms of well decayed logs.”
Colonization and extinction patterns of wood‐decaying fungi in a boreal old‐growth Picea abies forest (2008, methodology): “We calculated the volume (V ) of logs with the conic-paraboloid formula (Fraver et al. 2007): where L represents piece length, Ab the cross-sectional area at the base and Au the cross-sectional area at the upper end.”
