Selling system of sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria) timber in community forests without using appropriate tree L. volume models may generate profit loss for the farmers. The objectives of this study were to develop volume models of sengon and to evaluate the profit losses of commonly practiced techniques for selling the sengon timber in community forest. The result showed that the proposed volume model can be used accurately to estimate the volume of sengon trees in the community forest by measuring tree diameters. This study confirmed that the selling system based on per log and total stand area caused profit losses of 24.99% and 32.19% respectively, to the farmers. To avoid such disadvantages, therefore the use of the proposed volume model is recommended to facilitate accurate estimation of the volume of sengon trees.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
