| Abstract: | For assessment of growing stock, the role of aerial photographs mairly consists of volume class stratification, knowing proportion of various stratum and in providing layout for ground sample plots along with their precise location on the the ground. Plain Sal stratum was stratified into three volume classes on the basis of volume stereograms and standard deviation in each stratum estimated on the basis of reconnaissance data. 63 ground plots were needed for ± 5 cum (E = ± 5) accuracy for optimum allocation. Volume in 0.1 hectare circular plots was obtained from measurement of all trees above 10 cm dbh. The mean volume was 124 cum per hectare ± 9.55 cum at 95% probability level. A comparison with Working Plan figures revealed a close similarity. Advantage in time and cost for getting information on growing stock by the use of aerial photographs have been highlighted. |
