Scientific Summary 94 in IUFRO News Vol. 41, Issue 9, September 2012

The 1st Brazilian Meeting on Forest Mensuration (MENSUFLOR) aimed to promote knowledge exchange among forest mensuration professionals from educational, research and extension institutions.

The 1st Brazilian Meeting on Forest Mensuration (MENSUFLOR) was held on 9-10 August, 2012 at the Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys/UFVJM in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and was co-sponsored by IUFRO 4.01.02 Growth models for tree and stand simulation. The key issues discussed were: historical context of the Brazilian forest mensuration; use of artificial intelligence in forest measurement; mixed effect models applied in studies of growth and yield; forest planning optimized for obtaining multiproduct wood; theoretical and practical aspects of sampling to quantify necromass forest (standing dead fallen wood or biomass); use of randomized branch sampling to estimate timber and non-timber forest; and forest carbon inventory and measurement systems for commercial timber in logs.
