A Half-yearly Peer Reviewed Journal of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute
The Two-way (Metric) Volume Table of telya garjan (Dipterocarpus turbinatus) for plantation forest published from the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, Chittagong was reported to give higher estimate than the actual volume. A test of validity was, therefore, made for the table and also for some other existing volume functions of the species. It was found that the volume function of the table in metric units was incorrect and as such an appropriate function has been developed. An alternative volume function has also been proposed in the paper. Volume functions developed by other authors for this species have been found unbiased.
