EUREKA!!!!
Thneed Weekly returns. Back in week 2014 – 28 of Thneed Weekly we covered briefly what a D-Tape was and how the units were multiplied out to be PI units to automatically provide the user with the diameter. This week we will derive the formula to calculate basal area of a tree. Basal area is a metric that foresters use to determine stocking of an area among other things.
Due to higher than normal work load the next few weeks of the Thneed Weekly may not have any content. Please check back later. The next post with content will be an exciting demonstration of how to derive basal area.

Welcome to another week of Thneed Weekly. The Penguin in charge of writing these has been super busy and is getting behind. So this week we are going simple.
A short week for most here in the states it is the 4th of July. Independence Day. But there is no rest for the Penguins at FSD.
This week there was a release of a minor fix to the FPS Harvest Scheduler. The fix was said to fix a syntax change in how ODBC uses SQL.
But of course the penguins around here can’t leave well enough alone.
Viva California!!
“go to the California coast it is beautiful and sunny…" well much like a duck the posse of Penguins from FSD that went to California were met with rain which rolled nicely off of there backs. But it wasn’t a vacation anyway. Best of all the GPS only tried to kill us once. Definite wrong turn in Albuquerque. One project was to review inventory procedures for a stratified stand based inventory.
An entire glorious week in the office!!!That said all that happened was work. Terribly exciting.
In the world of forestry a new release of the Forest Projection and Planning System was released by the Forest Biometrics Research Institute. The main fix was to do with missing configuration values for species.
While testing this version the Penguins around here found an obscure “problem” when compiling forest cruise data.
Nelder Plot Visit….
So you ask yourself what the heck is a Nelder plot. Well instead of jumping right in to what it is take a look at one. (this is not the one visited on this trip)
And of course Google has updated there images so the representation isn’t as good.
NELDER, J. A. (1962). New kinds of systematic designs for spacing experiments.
