Abstract

As a part of the 1974 Forest Survey of Iowa, the Station''s Forst Resources Evaluatioin Research Staff developed a merchantable tree volume equation and tables of coefficients for Iowa. They were developed for both board-foot (International ?-inch rule) and cubic foot volumes, for several species and species groups of growing-stock trees. The equation and the coefficients can be used on a digital computer or modern electronic desk calculator by industrial foresters, consulting foresters, or others in need of quick net-volume-per-tree estimates.
