Abstract
This paper presents a method based on angle-gauge sampling useful for inven torying downed coarse woody material in forest stands. The method is closel y related to transect relascope sampling, except that sample points are use d rather than line transects. The estimators for the total and per unit are a are given along with the estimators of their variances. Methods for handl ing both borderline material and boundary overlap situations are also prese nted.
