Forest Mensuration is that branch of forestry
that deals with the determination of
dimensions (e.g. diameter, height, volume
etc.), form, age, and increment of single trees,
stands or whole woods, either standing or
after felling.

Mensuration means measurement of length, volume, mass and time.

Forest Mensuration includes measurements of

§ Felled and standing trees,

§ Sawn wood and round logs and bamboos
§ NTFPs such as bark, roots, fruits, etc

Forest Mensuration, therefore, concerns with linear, area, volume and weight
measurements.

In forest Mensuration, the following parameters can be described quantitatively:

Age
Diameter- over and under bark
Length or height
Form or shape
Taper or the rate of change of diameter with length
Volume over or under bark
Crown width
Wood density

Mensuration also deals with measuring and predicting the growth of trees and crops that is, the change in the
parameter with time.

•Wide scope and growing

• Applied when wood is sold, converted or used
• Concerns not only foresters, contractors, sawyers and transport labour working in the
forest but also the sawn millers and wood-using public in the cities, towns and villages.
• Now mensurationist has to concern himself with the measurement problems of wild
life management, watershed management, insect and disease incidence, recreation,
tourism and many of the mensurational aspects of multiple-use forestry.
• The application of statistical theory and the use of electronic computer for data
processing have brought about revolutionary changes in forest measurement problems.
