Inventory quality drives nearly every downstream decision in forestry operations.
Before finalizing harvest blocks, teams need current stand data: species profile,
diameter distribution, tree height classes, stem quality, and estimated merchant
volume. Sampling design should reflect terrain complexity and stand variability,
otherwise yield forecasts become unreliable and can distort scheduling decisions.

Mensuration workflows typically combine plot measurements, remote-sensing layers,
and historical growth curves. The goal is to convert field observations into an
operationally useful estimate of recoverable volume, not just total biomass. That
requires clear assumptions about defect rates, breakage risk, and product classes
such as sawlogs, pulp, and lower-value material.

Inventory results should be versioned and traceable. When updated plots or new
imagery change stand estimates, the planning team must document the revision and
its impact on harvest sequence, contractor allocation, and transport forecasts.
