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.
