5 Forestry Calculators

Forestry & Timber Calculators

Convert tree breast height diameters to basal area metrics, assess merchantable standing lumber volumes, calculate dry carbon dioxide sequestration offsets, analyze canopy light transmissions, and scale stacked cords of firewood.

Standing Timber Volume

Estimate merchantable tree volume from DBH and usable log height using the Doyle, Scribner, International 1/4", and Metric Form Factor log rules.

Forestry Scaling Reference Info

Standard forest diameter values are measured at DBH (4.5 feet / 1.37 meters aboveground). Cords of firewood represent stacked wood, which contains roughly 65% solid wood volume and 35% empty airspace gaps.
