Table III
Distribution of deadwood volume in cubic meters by component (snags, stumps and CWD) and by decay class using FAS. CWD pieces are the main components of deadwood followed by snags. Stumps represent a small volume. The medium decay class is the most frequent, followed by absent and high. CWD and snags are mostly in the medium decay class. Stumps are most represented in both medium and high decay classes.
| Decay class | Snags | Stumps | CWD | Total | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Absent | 2.5 | 0.1 | 3.9 | 6.5 | 21 |
| Low | 0.1 | 0.0 | 3.0 | 3.1 | 10 |
| Medium | 3.9 | 0.7 | 10.6 | 15.2 | 49 |
| High | 0.4 | 0.7 | 4.2 | 5.3 | 17 |
| Very high | 0.0 | 0.1 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 4 |
