Synopsis

This book details a pioneering approach to forest inventory design, discussing considerations guiding its development and providing estimation formulae for totals, means, and variances. The author emphasizes the importance of describing conditions on specific land tracts to direct forest managers' attention to precise areas for more intensive program planning. These data can also support frequent revisions of plans to reflect land management activities and changing multiple-use statuses of various tracts as knowledge of forest resources and needs evolves. The author provides a comprehensive view of the design's objectives, sampling procedures, data compilation, and variance estimation, offering a valuable resource for forest management professionals seeking to improve the utility of their inventories for evaluating alternative land uses and management practices.
