Resumen en inglés | Woody debris, defined as standing and downed deadwood, consists in an essential component of the forest carbon stock. However, few studies have been carried out to get an efficient and accurate sampling procedure for estimating it. This work proposes two methodologies to estimate the woody debris volume in a Brazilian mixed tropical forest: 1) two-stage systematic sampling, using a mixed methodology, in which the Strand’s method is applied to standing dead trees and stumps, and line intercept sampling is used to fallen trees and branches; and 2) ratio estimate of the sum of cross-sectional areas of deadwood pieces and forest basal area, aiming to obtain the total woody debris volume indirectly in the natural forest. Conversions for biomass and carbon stocks were made applying the mean basic density on the estimates of deadwood volumes. Both methodologies are accurate for woody debris volume estimates, with a sampling error equal to 16.1% (methodology 1) and 5.7% (methodology 2), at a 95% probability level. Thus, the methodology 2 has potential to be used in strategic forest inventories of woody debris, such as in National Forest Inventories, due to increasing importance of its quantification in all forest ecosystems |
