Abstract

This interactive computer program uses standard tree-cruise data to estimate the weight and volume of the total tree, saw logs, plylogs, chipping logs, pulpwood, crown firewood, and logging residue in timber stands.Input is cumulative cruise data for tree counts by d.b.h. and height. Output is in tables: board-foot volume by d.b.h.; total-tree and tree-component biomass by tons, cords, and cunits; a summary table; and projected annual growth by stand component and species.This manual describes the FORTRAN V mainframe and the PASCAL microcomputer programs and how to enter data to obtain the desired output.
