Assumptions on HERBIOVORE of Choice:
Values presented here are fresh weights from the field.
The vegetation was about 60% dry matter on the uplands site.
and about 50% dry matter on the lowland site.
You will need to convert field weights to dry matter weight.
0,000; and to get, kg/hectare divide by 0.0892, then multiply by 10
