Abstract

Tropical forests in Indonesia are dominated by Dipterocarps species which is characterized by high diversity of species composition, growth pattern, site and age distribution. These conditions should be considered well in order to develop management tool for natural forest production such as setting up volume table. This objective of the study is intended to see “stage of art” of research on tree volume estimation of the forest in Indonesia until 2004. Various research on tree volume estimation have been conducted by many parties in several location in East zone, Ecotone zone and West zone in Indonesia with the purpose of improving planning in the management of forests. Procedure of research on tree volume prediction consist on : (1) Selection of trees sample; (2) Measurement of independent variables; (3) Developing appropriate equation/models. The result of study shows that for the whole zones in Indonesia, 82 Dipterocarps equation models from 17 province have been developed. Detail case study in East Kailmantan show 14 Dipterocarps equation models in some forest areas specific (sites). In general the model of volume estimation equation of stand growth showing the exponential and logarithmic pattern.
