    Abstract
    There is increasing interest in using canopy area to quantify biomass of invasive woody plants on large land areas of rangelands for a variety of reasons. For those woody species that emphasize lateral canopy growth over vertical growth it may be possible to relate canopy area to aboveground mass (AGM). Our objective was to determine the utility of external canopy measurements (area, volume, and height) for predicting AGM and the percentage of AGM that is wood (PW; i.e., stems >3 cm diameter) in individual redberry juniper (Juniperus pinchotii Sudw.) plants in west Texas. The canopy area to height relationship was curvilinear and indicated that at heights >3 m, there was more lateral (canopy area) than vertical canopy growth. We found a strong linear relationship between canopy area and AGM (r2 = 0.94; AGM range 9 kg to 688 kg) and it appeared that AGM could be predicted in individual trees from canopy area. Moreover, the canopy area/AGM relationship developed from smaller trees was able to adequately predict AGM of larger trees. Height was a less effective predictor of AGM (r2 = 0.66), and incorporation of height with canopy area to determine canopy volume did little to improve accuracy of estimating AGM over canopy area alone. The canopy area/PW relationship was curvilinear (the rate of increase in Pw declined in larger trees) and PW reached 60-70% in the largest trees./Aumenta el interés por usar el área del dosel para cuantificar la biomasa de plantas leñosas invasoras en grandes extensiones de pastizales por diversas razones. Para esas especies leñosas que resaltan el crecimiento lateral del dosel lateral sobre el crecimiento vertical puede ser posible relacionar el área de dosel con la biomasa aérea (BA). Nuestro objetivo fue determinar la utilidad de medir el dosel externo (área, volumen y altura) para predecir BA y el porcentaje de BA que es madera (PW, ejemplo tallos >3 cm de diámetro) en plantas individuales de junípero rojo (Juniperus pinchotii Sudw.) en el oeste de Texas. El área del dosel con la relación de altura fue curvilínea e indicaba que la altura >3 m fue más lateral (área del dosel) que el crecimiento vertical del dosel. Encontramos una fuerte relación linear entre el área del dosel y BA (r2=0.94; BA rango 9 kg a 688 kg) y esto parece que BA puede ser predicha en arboles individuales de área del dosel. Sin embargo, la relación área del dosel/BA desarrollada de arboles pequen ̃os fue posible predecir adecuadamente BA de arboles grandes. Altura del árbol fue un factor de predicción menos efectivo de BA(r2=0.66), al incorporar altura con área del dosel para determinar el volumen del dosel mejoro muy poco la exactitud la estimación de BA sobre el área del dosel por sí solo. La relación de área del dosel/madera (PW) fue curvilínea (la tasa de incremento de madera (PW) declino en arboles grandes) y la madera (PW) alcanzo 60–70% en arboles grandes.
