%0 Article %T On theory of forest increment calculation based on periodic measurements %A Kuusela, Kullervo %D 1953 %J Acta Forestalia Fennica %V 60 %N 1 %R doi:10.14214/aff.7408 %U https://silvafennica.fi/article/7408 %X
The article presents the background of increment calculations and periodic measurements of forests, as well the historical development of increment calculations in North-America, Middle-Europe, Scandinavia and Finland. The measurements and calculations are presented for individual trees, for a forest stand and for the total resource of a normal forest stand.
The practice of increment calculations has still some problems regarding the measurements of standing and harvested trees. The article discusses some ways to overcome the problems.
