| Abstract: | The use of panchromatic (black & white) aerial photographs on 1:15,000 scale for forest type mapping and evolving a suitable basis of volume stratification for man-made forests of Haldwani Division of U.P. is discussed. Forest types by species, height and density were identified and ground survey data collected in 0.1 hectare circular plots were used to evolve the basis of volume stratification by statistical analysis. The methodology used for pilot studies before regional surveys are undertaken is presented. |
