Developing Database for Management of Strip-forests

Abstract

In several states the trees growing in the strip-forests (i.e., such linear features as roads, canals, rails. Drains and bunds) are enumerated (i.e., numbered) and these voluminous records of growing stock exist in the form or enumeration registers. In this paper, a case for conversion of these data into a database is presented. A suitable design for the database is proposed and suggestions are made as to new it can be handled by the State Forest Department.
