Suchquantitative information is vital to sellers, buyers, planners, managersand researchers within forestry. This book is a revision of a successfultext originally published in 1983 but written for students in Africa.The new edition is international in scope, and has also been changedand updated to reflect recent advantages, particularly with respect tobiomass and fodder measurement, sampling with unequal probabilities andgrowth modelling. The book covers both the theory and practice of forestmensuration and includes a number of worked examples of calculations.
