Volume of Wood in board feet

The volume in board feet is the usable amount of timber in a tree.

* the formula is [(½ DBH)2 x Π] x height = board feet

Using the information about the eastern white pine which was our most common species we can determine the the density of eastern white pine is approximately 660 stems/hectare.
