Synopsis

Van Laar and Akça’s popular text book, Forest Mensuration, was first published in 1997. Like that first edition, this modern update is based on extensive research, teaching and practical experience in both Europe as well as the tropics and subtropics. It has also been extensively revised and now includes chapters on remote sensing and the application of aerial photographs and satellite imagery. This book assumes no advanced knowledge of statistical methods and combines practical techniques with important historical and disciplinary context. The result is a strong balance between a handbook on traditional mensuration methods and a valuable reference on the many recent research and inventory-related innovations which have emerged in recent years.
