Volume techniques for estimating standing and lying dead wood in Okomu national park, Edo state, Nigeria

Abstract

Dimensions are essential characteristics to estimate standing and lying dead wood volumes. Therefore, the study is aimed at estimating standing and lying dead wood volumes with a view to identify the variation that exist amongst volume equations in Okomu National Park. Hossfeld’s equation and other volume equations should be considered suitable for estimating volume of standing and lying deadwood, depending on the available variable.
