University of Minnesota Extension Service, Sampling and Measuring Timber in the
Private Woodland a good explanation on measuring trees and it goes much deeper on
statistics in inventory.
Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, Minnesota Forest
Management Newsletter Archive Look for volume 1, 1997, No 32 for a good explanation
of measuring trees.
USDA Forest Service, Timber Cruising Handbook This goes into great detail, more than
you will likely need but it should be able to answer many questions you might have.
An excellent book on forest inventory is “Conducting a Forest Inventory” by Jason Henning
and David Mercker (undated) University of Tennessee, Extension PB 1780.
An excellent book on cruising using point sampling is “Simplified Point Sample Cruising” by
Burl Ashley (1991) by USDA Forest Service, Northeastern Area State and Private Forestry
