Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from A Field Test of Point-Sample Cruising<br/><br/>In most tests that have shown good results in using wedge-prisms, marginal or doubtful trees have been carefully checked by measuring their diameter and distance from the sample point. However, the usual recommendation for extensive cruises is to tally such trees separately and add half of their total to the sample. Whether an optical illusion might cause the ratio of ins to outs to be other than 50-50 has never been checked so far as I know. In addition to testing techniques of application, a study of point-sampling should also provide information helpful in designing timber cruises to meet specified limits of accuracy. By relating coefficients of variation for point sampling to those for conventional plot procedures, the experience data from the older techniques can be made available for designing point-sample cruises.
