Abstract

Presents factors for converting current estimates of merchantable volume to weight, and models for predicting weights and volumes of tops and limbs, for important tree species in the Rocky Mountain States. Converts timber statistics from cubic foot volume to dry weight for tree components, such as bole, limbs, and top. Includes State-by-State data summaries.
