Forest Inventory

This advanced mensuration course builds on the concepts learned in Natural Resource Measurements. Common attributes collected and the various techniques used for conducting forest inventories will be examined from the plot, stand and forest-level. Sampling designs and statistical methods for forestry-related surveys will be highlighted with a focus on understanding how sample methodology influences results. Methods to calculate forest attributes (e.g. BA, density, volume, growth and site productivity) from various sampling methods will be undertaken. An introduction to wood measurement (scaling) and it's associated manuals will be presented.
