Subjective visual estimations of forage mass are inaccurate and often lead to poor stocking decisions. Most literature on estimating forage mass with nondestructive sampling procedures involves plant species that are similar in structure (i.e., height) and have nearly complete ground cover. Accurate pasture mass measurement tools are needed for morphologically heterogeneous pastures managed under limited irrigation in a semi-arid environment.
