Discussion on slope correction methods enhances accuracy in timber inventories, indicating potential biases.
Ignoring the correction for sloping terrain in horizontal point sampling leads to biased estimates of forest parameters. Slope, if present, must be corrected for in all careful timber inventories. The two general types of slope correction, the constant and the variable gauge angle techniques, are discussed and certain aspects are explored in depth.
