Forest Mensuration By Oscar Garcia

Description

Forest Mensuration By Oscar Garcia. I decided to translate these notes in order to use them as a framework for Directed Studies courses in Forest Mensuration at the University of Northern British Columbia. They are used to organize the sequence of topics to be discussed, being complemented with readings from the standard textbooks. I resisted the temptation of tampering with the original text; a revision could easily have got out of hand in terms of time and effort. Some of the content is outdated, and in parts reflects local practices and needs. “Dynamics” (growth & yield) is not covered. The translation has, however, served its purpose reasonably well, and perhaps others might find something of interest in it. My apologies for the far from polished English. Adrian Batho suffered with good humor the inagural experiment, and contributed to blunt some of the roughest linguistic edges.
