A possibilidade de estimar o volume madeirável de um determinado empreendimento florestal e paralelamente a isso fazer a predição de múltiplos produtos advindos do mesmo, viabilizam significativos ganhos na administração dos povoamentos florestais. É claro e evidente que a estimativa precisa do volume de um povoamento florestal cada vez mais vem se tornando prática indispensável nas empresas ligadas ao setor madeireiro, e a possibilidade de agregar valores nas florestas, sejam plantadas ou nativas, é possível uma vez que haja meios de diversificar os produtos madeireiros, nos casos em que o resíduo da elaboração de um produto torna-se matéria-prima para elaboração de outro. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a acuracidade dos modelos polinomiais propostos por Schöepfer (1966), Kozak et al. (1969) e Hradetzky (1976), para estimativa de diâmetros e volumes ao longo do fuste de Eucalyptus urophylla, em plantio localizado no município de Niquelândia, no estado do Goiás. A base de dados foi composta por 48 árvores cubadas rigorosamente pelo método de Smalian. A avaliação da precisão dos modelos foi feita através da análise de resíduos, Erro Padrão Residual (Syx) e Coeficiente de Determinação (R²). O modelo que gerou as melhores estatísticas para a estimativa dos diâmetros ao longo do fuste foi o modelo proposto por Hradetzky (1976). Já para a estimativa do volume total com e sem casca, o polinômio do 5° grau proposto por Schöepfer (1966) foi um pouco superior.Palavras-chave: Modelagem; função de afilamento; volumetria. AbstractPolynomial models to represent profile and volume of Eucalyptus urophylla stem in north region of Goias State, Brazil. Timber volume estimates of a certain forest due to its multiple products prediction may increase incomes from forest stands management. It is already clear that precise volume survey of a forest is essential to timber companies in order to increase commercial value to forests (native or planted ones), even by diversification of products, transforming residues into raw material. This research has as its main aim to evaluate accuracy of polynomial models proposed by Schöpfer (1966), Kozak et al. (1969) and Hradetzky (1976) to estimate diameter and volume along Eucalyptus urophylla stem, in the region of Niquelândia, Goiás State. The database was composed by 48 trees that had their absolute volume calculate by the Smalian method. The models precision was evaluated by analysis of residuals, the Standard error of estimate (Syx) and the determination coefficient (R²). The model that produced the best statistics for diameter estimation along the stem was the model proposed by Hradetzky (1976), as well as the 5th degree model proposed by Schöepfer (1966) proved to be superior to estimate total volume.Keywords: Modeling; taper function; volumetry.

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram ajustar e selecionar modelos de afilamento para estimar diâmetros a várias alturas e volume total, com e sem casca, de árvores de Pinus elliottii Engelm., na região de Caçador, SC, para estudar a forma dos fustes das árvores de diferentes idades. Ao todo, 78 árvores, com idades de 10, 18 e 27 anos, foram abatidas, cubadas rigorosamente e tiveram os seus volumes obtidos por meio do método de Smalian. Os modelos de afilamento testados foram os Polinômios de 2º e de 5º Graus e o Polinômio de Potências Fracionárias de Hradetzky. A função de afilamento que apresentou melhor desempenho para estimar o diâmetro com e sem casca ao longo do fuste das árvores foram baseadas no Polinômio de Potências Fracionárias de Hradetzky, para as idades de 10, 18 e 27 anos. O Polinômio de 2º Grau propiciou as melhores estimativas de volume total com casca para as idades de 10 e 27 anos e de volume total sem casca para as idades de 18 e 27 anos. Já o Polinômio de Potências Fracionárias apresentou melhores estimativas de volume com casca para 18 anos e de volume sem casca para árvores de 10 anos. Os fustes das árvores de Pinus elliottii apresentam melhor forma nas idades mais avançadas. AbstractTaper models for Pinus elliottii, at different ages, in the region of Caçador - SC. The research aims to fit and select taper models in order to estimate diameters at different heights and total volumes, inside and outside bark, of Pinus elliottii Engelm. trees, in the region of Caçador - SC, Brazil, as well as to analyze  behavior of stem form for trees at different ages. Altogether, 78 trees at 10, 18 and 27 years of age, had been cut and their volumes obtained by Smalian method. The taper models tested were the 2nd and 5th Degree Polynomial and the Hradetzky Polynomial of Fractioned Potencies. The best performance taper function for estimate diameters inside and outside bark throughout the stem were based on the Hradetzky Polynomial of Fractioned Potencies, for 10, 18 and 27 years of age. The 2nd Degree Polynomial provided the best estimates of outside bark volume for 10 and 27 years of age, and of inside bark volume for 18 and 27 years of age, although the Hradetzky Polynomial presented the best estimates of outside bark volume for 18 years of age and of inside bark volume for 10 years old trees. The stems of the Pinus elliottii trees present better form for the oldest tress.Keywords: Polynomial models; profile models; stem form.

A system of equations widely used in Forest Engineering by the international community of researchers consists of a combination of a volumetric function and a taper function, with the purpose of making volume estimates compatible. When using the volume function and the taper function in a system, the result of the volume estimated by the two functions should be compatible, meaning that the volume estimated by the volumetric function should not differ from the volume obtained by integrating the taper function. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to develop and present the procedures of a system of equations to make volume estimates from both volume and taper equations compatible, and then compare it to the traditional approach, which is used in forestry companies. The procedures proposed were applied to a data set on the Acacia mearnsii De Wild. (black wattle) at sites where the plantation of this species is concentrated in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The data set included 343 trees ranging from 5 to 10.75 years of age. It was noted that the lack of volume compatibility, in absolute terms, grows exponentially with the size of the tree. The quality of the estimates using the system of compatible equations did not differ from those obtained from the traditional model, therefore, the former is preferable. Furthermore, it was noted that the residuals from the volume and taper equations are correlated, which suggests that the system of equations be fitted simultaneously.

Loblolly pine (Pinustaeda L.) is an important source of raw material for the forest products industry of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data from 159 trees were used to develop a simultaneously estimated total and merchantable volume equation, which treats total volume as a special case of merchantable volume with Dm, the diameter limit, equal to zero. By imposing a restriction on the parameters of the total and merchantable volume equation, a compatible taper function was derived that predicts diameter at breast height when merchantable height equals 1.3 m. The taper function possesses an analytic point of inflection in the lower portion of the stem.

Abstract The purpose of the present study was to convey to the reader the method and application of the Finnish Multi-Source National Forest Inventory (MS-NFI) that was devised in the Finnish Forest Research Institute. The study area concerned is Stołowe Mountains National Park, which is located in the south-western Poland, near the border with the Czech Republic. To accomplish the above mentioned aim, the following data have been applied: timber volume derived from field sample plots, satellite image, digital map data and digital elevation model. The Pearson correlation coefficient between independent and dependent variables has been verified. Furthermore, the non-parametric k-nearest neighbours (k-NN) technique and genetic algorithm have been used in order to estimate forest stands biomass at the pixel level. The error estimates have been obtained by leave-one-out cross-validation method. The main computed forest stands features were total and mean timber volume as well as maximum and minimum biomass occurring in the examined area. In the final step, timber volume map of the growing stock has been created.

ABSTRACTLarge areas of the Himalayas have become severely deforested although little has been published about the extent of this problem in the closed Kingdom of Bhutan. A preliminary survey was undertaken during 1983. Without detailed information or accurate maps, LANDSAT 2 imagery was used to prepare a sampling stratification and to plot the distribution of defined vegetation types after sampling and analysis. Eleven forest noda are described in relation to their habitats, and area and timber volume estimates given. Deforestation pressures are discussed.

This work evaluated eight hypsometric models to represent tree height-diameter relationship, using data obtained from the scaling of 118 trees and 25 inventory plots. Residue graphic analysis and percent deviation mean criteria, qui-square test precision, residual standard error between real and estimated heights and the graybill f test were adopted. The identity of the hypsometric models was also verified by applying the F(Ho) test on the plot data grouped to the scaling data. It was concluded that better accuracy can be obtained by using the model prodan, with h and d1,3 data measured in 10 trees by plots grouped into these scaling data measurements of even-aged forest stands.
