Forest measurements and biometrics involves developing and testing methods for taking and using measures from forested lands, including statistical sampling and analysis methods. This site presents:
- Recent Research Papers and Thesis that might be of interest
- Pamphlets explaining the use of newer analysis methods using forestry examples (e.g., mixed models, generalized linear models, spatial modelling), generally meant to be used as teaching tools
- Short Papers describing useful methods of measurement, data collection, and/or analysis including samplig formula
- Presentations and conferences related to forest biometrics
- Photos — photographs of forest measurements in action! These photos can be downloaded for use in teaching
- People associated with UBC forest biometrics can be seen here
- Links to other forest measurements and biometrics web sites
- PrognosisBC Modelling, University of British Columbia: This website provides the information of PrgonosisBC which was adapted from the forest vegetaion simulator(FVS) in 1997.
