To estimate the volume of wood available in forest specieswise Local Volume Equations are developed. In order to achieve this goal, during different forest surveys of different districts, of Agro-Ecological zone-10, different Local Volume Equations were developed, for Tectona grandis. In present study it is investigated whether a Local Volume Equation can be developed which can be approximated for all such Volume Equations developed for different districts. It is observed that a single suitable Local Volume Equation : √V = 0.10832 + 3.61374 D - 0.71728 √D provides a reasonably close approximation to the different Local Volume Equations. Therefore this developed Local Volume Equation can be used universally within Agro-Ecological region No. 10 for Tectona grandis.

Abstract


To estimate the volume of wood available in forest specieswise Local Volume Equations are developed. In order to achieve this goal, during different forest surveys of different districts, of Agro-Ecological zone-10, different Local Volume Equations were developed, for Tectona grandis. In present study it is investigated whether a Local Volume Equation can be developed which can be approximated for all such Volume Equations developed for different districts. It is observed that a single suitable Local Volume Equation : √V = 0.10832 + 3.61374 D - 0.71728 √D provides a reasonably close approximation to the different Local Volume Equations. Therefore this developed Local Volume Equation can be used universally within Agro-Ecological region No. 10 for Tectona grandis.
