[USCC] Estimating vegetative debris from land clearing

[Craig Coker]

Colleagues:

 

I am trying to develop estimates of vegetative waste (tree trunks, limbs,
branches, and leaves, and brush/shrubbery) from land-clearing activities in
an ecology of oak savanna, scrubby oak forest, eastern redcedar, and tall
grass prairie in the midwestern U.S.  Has anyone come across a reasonable
estimate of tonnage or yardage of vegetative debris that would result from
clearing a fully wooded site for land development? If you have, please let
me know and also in what ecologic region the estimate was developed in.

 

Many thanks,

Craig
