Efficiently calculate tree volumes and defects with this specialized program. NETVSL helps forest managers and researchers estimate net and gross volumes from felled trees or standing tree measurements. It also supports dendrometry, enabling data collected in the field to be processed for multiple volume standards.
This edition explains how the software handles units, merchantability limits, and the data structures it uses. It covers the subroutines and data flow needed to customize calculations for local standards, timber sales, or mill studies. The guide also surveys typical field procedures and how to prepare data for processing by NETVSL and related programs.
- Compute net volume, surface, and length for entire sales, including defect deductions.
- Choose among nine unit/merchantability configurations for flexible reporting.
- Understand data input with READIN and related subprograms, including felled-tree and dendrometry data.
- Learn how unit consistency and operator training simplify processing of standing and felled trees.
Ideal for readers of forestry software, timber management, and volume estimation workflows.
