Stem Volume Preodiction Models for Variable Diameter Limits

Abstract

Attempt is 1Ilade to find out relationship between stem standard timber volume with total stem, merchantable and small wood volumes. Advantage ha. been taken of the correlation found between h/h₁ and 1/d.f_stf (where h₁ is the standard timber bole length, f_st the standard timber from factor, d the diameter at breast height and h the tree height) in finding out suitable prediction models. In the era of rapid industrialisation and changing technology wherein yard stick for specific type of raw material change day to day, it is felt that suggested prediction models will be of much use.
