FOREST MENSUEATION. 



Forest Mensuration deals with the determination]! of the 

 dimensions, vohime, age and increment of single trees and 

 whole woods. 



These determinations are required for the calculation of the 

 material standing on a given area, the yield which a wood can 

 give, and the value of single trees, whole woods and forests. 

 They serve also as the hasis for the calculation of the effects 

 of different methods of treatment. 



As a rule, the units of measurement employed in Britain 

 and India are the foot, square foot, and cul)ic foot.
