Synopsis

Understand how White Pine grows and how to estimate its value Learn how to predict forest growth, estimate age from diameter, and calculate volume and merchantable yield using practical curves and tables. This edition presents measurement methods, form factors, and step‑by‑step calculations that help landowners and foresters forecast timber progression with real data.

Grounded in measurements from many trees, the book shows how to convert size and age into volume, and how to apply these figures to plan protection, taxes, and investment in pine land. It covers how bark, branches, and stem shape affect volume, and it explains the limits and uses of the tabulated curves in different soils and sites.

• How to use plate curves to estimate age, height, diameter, and future growth


• How to compute volume and merchantable timber from trunk measurements


• How density, locality, and stand quality influence results


• How to apply form factors and Doyle’s Rule for practical lumber estimates

Ideal for foresters, landowners, and students who want a data‑driven view of White Pine growth and timber value.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The inquiry upon which this study of the White Pine is based was made possible through the public-spirited and generous cooperation of Mr. William E. Dodge, Mr. D. Willis James, and Mr. James W. Pinchot. The fund which they subscribed was placed in the hands of Mr. Henry S. Graves, by whom the notes and measurements summarized in the following pages were collected in the field. During the summer and autumn of 1894 the work was prosecuted on the ground, and for two months of that time Mr. Graves was assisted by Mr. P. F. Nash, Jr., who gave his enthusiastic and helpful services entirely without cost to the fund. After the conclusion of the field work, the delicate and laborious task of calculation and tabulating the results was carried on by Mr. Graves, and by him brought to an end. He also prepared the silvicultural notes, based on his observations, which were used as the framework of the letter-press of this study; and the small tables in the text are wholly his own.
