Dendrometry Course
Master the science of measuring trees and forests with the precision that professional forestry demands. This course takes you from foundational terminology through advanced stand inventory design, taper analysis, and carbon stock estimation. Whether you work in timber management, conservation, or environmental consulting, you will gain the technical skills to produce reliable, field-ready dendrometric data.

What will I learn?
You will learn how to measure tree diameter, height, and stem form using industry-standard instruments including calipers, hypsometers, and laser rangefinders. The course covers individual tree volume estimation through sectional formulas, volume tables, and regression equations. You will design and execute stand-level inventories using both fixed-area plots and Bitterlich variable-radius sampling. Growth measurement techniques, including increment core analysis and stem analysis, are covered in depth. You will also learn to estimate above- and below-ground biomass and calculate forest carbon stocks for compliance reporting. Supplementary modules introduce LiDAR, drone photogrammetry, GIS, and dendrochronology to round out your skill set.
