BC Ministry of Forests growth and
yield models:
descriptions of models used in British Columbia. Many of these models can
be downloaded to your computer for use. There are also links to site
index prediction tools, including predicting site index from site series, and
forest level planning tools. http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hre/gymodels/
BC Ministry of Forests, Research Branch, Biometrics pamphlets: a selection of "how
to" pamphlets for commonly used tools for modelling
and experimental design. These can be downloaded or printed. The
pamphlets use forestry examples, and give the SAS code corresponding to the
problem. http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/pubs/Bio.htm
International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO),
Division 4, Inventory, Growth, Yield, Quantitative and Management Sciences: IUFRO Divsion
4 organizes conferences to discuss a variety of measurement and biometrics
issues. A listing of upcoming conferences, with web connections can be
found on this web site, along with information about IUFRO. http://iufro.boku.ac.at/
Western Mensurationists: A group of folks primarily from
the Western US and Western Canada that meet and discuss measurements and
biometrics (including what is the difference really?) A conference is
held once each year, at the end of June or beginning of July
in interesting places, not too far from the Pacific Coast, mostly.

Southern Mensurationists: The Southern US version of Mensurationists. This lively group
of interesting people generally meet once a year to discuss (what
else?) measurements and biometrics.
Generally, a conference is held once each year, in
hot places not too far from the Atlantic Coast, mostly. http://mensurationists.com
UBC Woodward Library:
The Woodward Library at the University of British Columbia has collections for
forestry. The librarians have compiled listings by subject areas,
that you might find useful. http://www.library.ubc.ca/woodward/
Elementary Statistical Methods for Foresters: This agriculture handbook 317
was written by Dr. Frank Freese in 1967. This book
refers to essential statistical methods for foresters. http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/documnts/usda/ah317.pdf
Modelling Forest Growth and Yield, Applications to
Mixed Tropical Forests: This
book was written by Jerome K. Vanclay in 1994. This
book attempts to make growth models more accessible to foresters and other
interested in mixed forests, whether planted or natural(In
Preface). http://eprint.uq.edu.au/archive/00004123/
Growth and Yield in Central and Northeastern BC, University of
Northern British Columbia, Prince George, BC, June 29, 2005: A meeting held at the
University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George, on 29 June 2005. The
objective was to gather a relatively small number of researchers closely
associated with forest growth modelling, to exchange
ideas and information, and to dicuss research
strategies and funding. The meeting was organized by Valerie LeMay (UBC), with collaboration from
Mike Jull (Aleza Lake Research Forest) and
Oscar García (UNBC).
Nicole Balliet took care of local arrangements.

Geometics
at the University of British Columbia: This
site was created to be a resource for UBC faculty, staff, and students. It
hosts information on a number of topics of interest to the geomatics
community.
