A study was done to illustrate the influence of fiber on the ratio of estimated to actual dry weight fractions of selected species of grasses, forbs, and shrubs in samples analyzed by microhistological analysis. There was no significant relation between the fiber fraction of the plants and the over or under estimations. Forbs were not generally underestimated any more than were grasses or shrubs. The hypothesis is rejected which states that plants with low fiber values are usually underestimated by the microhistological technique.
