Abstract

Equations are presented for predicting green and dry weight and green volume of the total tree above stump and its components using d. b. h. and total height, d.b.h. and height to a 4-inch top, d.b.h. and saw-log merchantable height, and d.b.h. alone. Tables developed from equations show weight and volume of the total tree and its components by d. b. h. and total height class.

Keywords
