The two methods for wood density sampling (a) Auger method involving coring the tree trunk (b) conventional destructive method involving cutting discs.
Wood density is an important variable for accurate quantification of woody biomass and carbon stocks. Conventional destructive methods for wood density estimation are resource intensive, prohibiting their use, limiting the application of approaches that would minimize uncertainties in tree biomass estimates.
