A Study on Volume Estimation of <I>Shorea robusta</I>

Abstract

In this study, volume factors for Shorea robusta (Sal) growing in different parts of the country have been calculated. An effort has been made to establish statistical relationship between the dependent variable (V/D²), where V is the average volume and independent variable, reciprocal of diameter midpoint (D) for the country as a whole by using the Method of Leaf Squares. Volume of Sal can be estimated by using this relationship.
