Forest Mensuration

Comprehensive Coverage of Modern Methods in Forest Measurement and Sampling

Advances in technology, ecological understanding, and management goals have reshaped how scientists and practitioners measure and interpret forest structure and dynamics. Forest Mensuration provides an up-to-date and integrated approach to measuring tree and forest attributes, incorporating both traditional field techniques and state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies.

This new Sixth Edition reorganizes material to better align measurement and sampling concepts across scalesfrom individual trees to entire landscapeswhile expanding coverage of forest diversity, structural complexity, and ecosystem services. The text also introduces new theoretical and applied approaches for sampling with remotely sensed covariates, and includes updated examples, comparative tool analyses, and practical applications for contemporary forest manageme
