Abstract

Equations are presented for predicting the green weight of wood and bark and volume of wood in firewood > 4 inches d.o.b. in the total tree above stump, in the main stem to 4-inch top, and in topwood above the saw-log top, equations predict weight and volume of firewood by d.b.h. and total height, d.b.h. and height to 4-inch top, d.b.h. and saw-log merchantable height, and d.b.h. alone. Tables developed from equations show weight in pounds and volume in cords of firewood in a tree and its components by d.b.h. and height classes.
