Tb18: Mensuration Methods For Site Classification Of Shade Tolerant Tree Species, Leigh E. Hoar Jr., Harold E. Young
Technical Bulletins
All of the climax tree species in Maine are shade tolerant. This means that they have the capacity of surviving and growing slowly in the seedling, sapling and pole-size stages. As a result none of the established methods employing total age are applicable. In searching for a way to overcome this problem an entirely new approach to quantitative site evaluation was conceived. This study evaluates this new mensurational approach to site evaluation for shade-tolerant trees.

Tb15: The Standardization Of Symbols In Forest Mensuration, International Union Of Forestry Research Organizations
Technical Bulletins
This technical bulletin reprints the recommendations on the standardization of symbols in forest mensuration, originally published in 1959. The recommendations were made by a small working group in Section 25 of the International Union of Forestry Research Organizations, which was appointed at the Congress of the Union held in Rome in 1953. Members of the group were asked to enquire into the possibility of standarizing the use of symbols (and the systems of measurement) in forest mensuration and to make recommendations.
