Šmelko, Štefan
The paper contains a proposal for sampling method of finding deadwood and its components (standing dead trees, stumps, coarse lying wood and small lying wood) in forest ecosystem whereas all parameters are given in volume unit (m³). It presents particular procedures for optimal sampling design, i.e. number, size and allocation of sample plots, for the technique of data obtaining in the field and for the methodology of data processing including determination of the frameworks for the accuracy of derived results. It brings several original methodologies and mensurational models. The paper presents also results of the verification of proposed procedures in forest practice and comparison of data on deadwood for Slovakia and some EU countries. Suggestions for objectification and generalization of the data on deadwood on domestic and international scale are formulated as well.
