Description:

4 Credit Hours Fall Sem. Forest Mensuration II builds on the foundation established in Forest Mensuration I (FOR 240). A variety of timber cruising techniques are discussed, executed, and analyzed, including fixed radius plot sampling, point sampling, timber trespass, continuous forest inventories, and 3-P cruising. Forest inventory skills (e.g., cull identification and estimation, simple linear regression, computer analysis of inventory data and technical report writing) are also emphasized and integrated into field project assignments. The emphasis is on more independent work by students that helps to better simulate working-world conditions and situations, as well as to develop self-confidence and a strong work ethic. (Five 28-hour weeks). Prerequisites: Forest Mensuration I (FOR 240) and Surveying I (SRV 201), or permission of the instructor.
