Mode of measurementSpecify the method used for pruning measurement
Per tree

One or several single trees selected. Biomass per tree collected manually and weighted
Number of trees : 10
Per parcel (e.g. 100m2) in bags

One or several parcels selected. Each parcel several trees.
Biomass per parcel collected manually and weighted
Per several rows (or in whole field)

On large parcel, or a whole field is selected.
Biomass collected and loaded to a truck. Weight of the load taken ia a scale for trucks
