Accurate measurements of trees and forest helps to understand the resources and informed decision for better forest management. Measuring every tree individually is not possible. So, foresters measure only a sample of the trees and use statistical technics to make the process more efficient. A sample of different tree species, their sizes and components are measured for developing equations. Collected data were analysed using statistical software to develop allometric biomass models. Besides, they are used with the BFI data to assess national tree and forest volume, biomass and carbon stocks.
The Bangladesh Forest Department partnered with Khulna University, Chittagong Universities, Shajalal University of Science and Technology and the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute to develop tree allometric models and improve national forest estimates. This effort builds on the Bangladesh Forest Inventory, the compilation of all available national allometric equations, wood density, emission factors, and the national tree species database. With the support from FAO, a methodology and a field manual were prepared for the different forest types. More than 520 trees from different zones were measured using destructive and non-destructive methods.
The new models developed for Bangladesh to improve our knowledge about forest and tree resources. This is fundamental research and establishment of innovative forest management and conservation practices.
