# Conversion factors to predict the volume of the tree bole that is converted to forest products in the Pacific Northwest (1993)

## Dataset

- **Database Code:** FS111

- **Title:** Conversion factors to predict the volume of the tree bole that is converted to forest products in the Pacific Northwest (1993)

- **Abstract:**

The primary objective of this study is to predict the volume of the tree bole that is converted to forest products with a long-term lifespan (greater than 5 years). This information is used in a model that assesses the fate of carbon from harvested forest stands.
