The so-called 3 P sampling system (sampling with Probability Proportional to Prediction) is a variation of list sampling that does not require a list of population elements prior to the inventory. Every tree in a timber sale has to be visited and one needs an estimate of the total volume. In order to correct the total estimated volume, a small number of sample trees are selected according to a unequal-probability selection rule. The predicted tree volume is paired with a random number. Trees with predicted values larger than or equal to the random number are precisely measured. The average ratio of the measured volume to the estimated volume in the sample is used to adjust the total estimated volume. Such a system of inventory is often designed where a highly precise estimate of the volume or value of standing trees is required. [less ▲]

Synthèse des résultats d'un programme de recherche mené à bien dans le cadre d'un contrat communautaire européen, ce livre décrit une technique, la densification, autorisant la valorisation d'une grande partie inexploitée de la biomasse. Les auteurs, après avoir inventorié les ressources en matière première et les différentes techniques de densification, mettent en valeur les facteurs-clés de cette technologie. Les paramètres de production, relatifs à la matière première et aux presses à densifier, sont décrits dans le détail; les critères de qualité sont définis et leurs méthodes d'analyse établies. Enfin, une méthode de simulation économique permet de tester la sensibilité de la densification et d'identifier les paramètres conditionnant sa réussite financière. [less ▲]

This study is dealing with the choice of the size and the type of sampling units which could be used in inventories of beech stands (Fagus silvatica L.). Two experimental areas of 16 hectares have been considered in evenaged and unevenaged structures. Three types of sampling units were studied : fixed circular plots, Bitterlich plots (non fixed circular plots) and circular plots including a minimum of number of trees (15-20). As regards to the estimations of basal area and number of trees per hectare there is no significative difference between plots of fixed area and plots including a minimum number of trees even if plot sizes and stand structure vary. As expected, compared to the other methods, the Bitterlich plots give little more precise estimations of basal area and less precise estimations of number of trees. The plots with a minimum number of trees would give higher values compared to the other types of plots but no significative difference have been observed. Numerous simulations show that in case of a fixed total cost the use of a great number of small units or of a limited number of large units has little effect on the standard error of estimations. The concept of minimum number of trees (15-20) seems to be valuable according to a compromise between precision and cost. To avoid a risk of bias in stands including large empty zones, it is preferable to use plot radii suitable to normal conditions. [less ▲]

Stand volume equations have been calculated on the basis of data issued from more than 400 sampling plots measured in stands of oaks located in the Sourthern part of Belgium. For using the various equations that give the volume per hectare, it is required to assess the basal area per hectare, the top height and according to the type of volume the mean girth. [less ▲]

Cette étude propose une méthode d’estimation rapide du volume à l’hectare total ou ventilé par catégories de grosseur commerciales pour des peuplements d’épicéa (Picea abies KARST) situés dans la partie sud de la Belgique. L’analyse d’environ 1 800 unités d’échantillonnage a permis d’établir des relations satisfaisantes entre les proportions de volume bois fort tige correspondant à diverses catégories de grosseur et la circonférence de l’arbrc de surface terrière moyenne.

Results of large forest inventories have been analyzed in order to estimate timber product percentages in coniferous stands (Picea abies KARST) located in the southern part of Belgium. Stand volume functions based upon top height and basal area give total volumes per hectare. The volumes estimated by commercial girth classes are presented as functions of mean stand girth. [less ▲]
