Predicting equilibrium moisture content of some foliar forest litter in the northern Rocky Mountains
Forest foliage that comprises much of the forest floor litter has higher equilibrium moisture content, EMC, than woody components. The EMC's at 300 °K were found to increase as follows: grasses < fir-spruce needles < pine-cedar needles…
