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.
