IFER-MMS has developed a new technology for standing timber volume assessment. This technology is suitable for both forest owners and logging companies who wants to measure accurately the volume of standing trees, for instance in case of forest auctions.
Unlike the conventional approach of measuring only DBH and height, it is even possible to measure the entire stem profile and calculate standing trees volume based on real measurements (also upper diameter) with no need of volume tables. Moreover this technology can be used for reconstructing growing stocks even after logging. This helps to solve disputes on the amount of timber extracted.
