Mean time in minutes required to assess the various deadwood components using the various methods. Time efficiency of FAS seems low for CWD compared with LIS. Average assessment time of stumps and snags is high in regard to the proportion of deadwood volume that they represent.
| Deadwood | Method | Radius | Min. | Time (min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| component | or length | diameter | ||
| Stumps | FAS | 9 m | 9.5 cm | 5.7 |
| Snags | FAS | 6, 9, 15 m | 0 cm | 8.6 |
| CWD | FAS | 9 m | 7 cm | 17.9 |
| CWD | LIS | 36 m | 4.5 cm | 8.6 |
