Calculation should include use of the following:

Biltmore stick or log rule to find diameter at breast height (DBH) and standing timber (number of 16-foot logs)
Clinometer and diameter tape
Pace chains
Conversion of board-foot volume of standing timber into market value for sawtimber and volume cubic feet into market value for pulpwood
Reading a volume table to find board-foot volume of standing timber based on DBH and number of 16-foot logs
Reading a tree scale for pulpwood to find the volume in cubic feet of timber based on the DBH and the number of five-foot bolts

Process/Skill Questions:

How does one calculate a pace?
What methods would one use to determine the board-foot volume of standing timber?
How is volume board feet and volume cubic feet converted into market price for sawtimber and pulpwood?
