Evaluating above-snow browse availability using nonlinear regressions
Jenkins KJ, Happe PJ, Wright RG. 1990. Evaluating above-snow browse availability using nonlinear regressions. Wildlife Society Bulletin. 18:49-55
We developed and evaluated nonlinear regression models for estimating proportions of browse above snow as functions of snow depth and average shrub height for 6 common shrubs of northwestern Montana. Estimated proportions of browse emerging above snow may be used to adjust prewinter estimates of available shrub biomass.
