This Issue:*/Estimating Bamboo Biomass/ *and Some Other Good Things

*Estimating Bamboo Biomass*-- Last month, Dr. Timothy Gregoire wrote,/I 
need to come up with a way to assess bamboo biomass in Bhutan NFI. I 
know next to nothing about the topic! /Tim was especially interested in 
anything that has been done in the past 10 years. He is also interested 
in rattan inventory as well. Here are some sites that may be of 
interest. If you know of others, please contact Tim at
