Sampling Techniques for Forest Resource Inventory

Description

Clearly explains the sampling methods associated with the inventory of forest resources. Examples, used extensively throughout the text, illustrate various estimators, demonstrating different applications for sampling techniques. Several of the topics discussed such as point and 3P sampling were developed specifically for timber inventory. Other subjects, including recapture methods, were created for inventory of mobile wildlife populations. Many of the topics can be used to inventory virtually any of the resources in a forest.
