A Study on Volume Estimation for Indian Teak


     

   Subscribe/Renew Journal


The Forest Survey ofIndia has been carrying out inventory surveys for estimating the growing stock of various species and has developed a number of local volume equations based on ground inventory. An effort has been made to establish statistical relationship between average volume and diameter mid-point for country as a whole. Two relationships have been established by using Method of Least Squares. One is linear and the other is parabolic relationship. Volume of teak can he estimated by using parabolic relationship. However, for lower diameter classes (upto 30 cm) linear relationship can also be used to calculate the volume.
