Excerpt from Comprehensive Tree Volume Equations for Major Species of New Mexico and Arizona, Vol. 1: Results and Methodology
Comprehensive tree volume equations and the methodology used to derive them are presented for the major tree species of New Mexico and Arizona. With these equations, the following gross and net volume types can be computed for both unforked and forked trees: total stem cubic foot volume; merchantable cubic foot volume to any top diameter between 3 and 8 inches, inside bark; International -inch board foot volume to a 6-inch top, inside bark; and Scribner board foot volume to a 6-inch top, inside bark. These equations were developed in such a manner as to eliminate many of the problems of consistency, compatibility, reliability, and flexibility associated with previous sets Of volume equations. This approach also allows the user to divide total stem cubic foot volume into top volume, merchantable volume, and stump volume. This last feature is useful for predicting the level of residues after harvesting to various top diameters.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents detailed equations for calculating the volume of major tree species found in the American Southwest. These equations are organized into four main sections, corresponding to total stem volume, merchantable volume to any top diameter between three and eight inches, International 1/4-inch board foot volume to a six-inch top, and Scribner board foot volume to a six-inch top. Both unforked and forked trees are accounted for. The equations are derived from a comprehensive data set collected from five National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico. The author employs a consistent methodology to eliminate many of the reliability and flexibility issues associated with previous sets of volume equations. This approach allows users to divide total stem volume into top volume, merchantable volume, and stump volume. The book is a valuable resource for foresters involved in timber management planning, forest surveys, damage appraisal, and timber sale preparation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334172823_0
