Some sampling methods are mentioned here: Sampling methods (there are several choices. Depending on the situation any one of these is acceptable: simple random sampling; systematic sampling; stratified sampling; probability-proportional-to-size sampling; cluster sampling; quota sampling; minimax sampling; accidental sampling; voluntary sampling; line-intercept sampling; panel sampling; snowball sampling; theoretical sampling.)Replacement of selected unitsSample size determination (steps for using sample size tables)Sampling and data collectionApplications of samplingErrors in sample surveys (sampling errors and biases; non-sampling error)

Quantifying commercial residues by means of their size is one way to evaluate wood harvesting operations (Serpe et al. 2018), in which residue inventory is becoming more important with the increasing use of this raw material for energy production. Line intercept sampling (LIS) consists of measuring woody pieces of residues which cross a line-transect (Karpachev et al. 2017; Péllico Netto et al. 2018). This inventory method is applied for many purposes such as for sampling coarse woody debris (Waddell 2002), biomass in Brazilian tropical rainforests (Righi et al. 2009), downed woody debris in eucalyptus forests (Miehs et al. 2010), and logging residues (Karpachev et al. 2020).
