Continuing harvesting plots at Keravat for pulpwood volume table compilation

Advertisement


Keravat 1973. Harvesting plots of E. deglupta for pulpwood volume table preparation. Felled stems were measured for diameter over and under bark at ground level (10 cm stump), breast height and one-metre height intervals and for total height. Billets were cut to one-metre length and stacked with bark on and with bark off to calculate stacked round-wood volumes. The data were processed using graphical methods to provide whole tree volumes over and under bark. Twoway volume tables were prepared based on diameter at breast height and total height and separately to several top diameter limits.
