Backwoods biometrics might be characterized by understanding this particular mix of the words – timberland and biometrics. Biometrics can be best characterized by separating the word: bio, as in natural; and metric, as in estimation. Hence, biometrics is natural estimations. Backwoods biometrics is estimations applied in ranger service. Ranger service – the calling accepting the science, workmanship, and practice of treating, overseeing, utilizing, and monitoring timberlands and related assets for human advantage and in a supportable way to meet wanted objectives, needs and qualities – note the expansive field of ranger service comprises of those natural, physical, and administrative sciences that are applied to woodland the board and preservation. In this way, Forest Biometrics is the study of backwoods (Bio) estimation (measurements). It includes the measurement of organic and actual qualities of trees and related vegetation, bugs, illness, untamed life, geology, soils, and environment, exclusively and all things considered. These qualities incorporate all quantifiable properties inside ranger service, both transient and spatial. The conventional (twentieth century) and clearly obsolete term for backwoods biometrics was woods mensuration.

The overall term "mensuration" is a word utilized by researchers to mean exercises identified with estimating. This term is as yet being used by industry experts. All the more exactly, mensuration is customarily characterized as a part of science managing the estimation of lengths of lines, spaces of surfaces, and volumes of solids. In ranger service, it incorporates the assurance of aspects, structure, weight, development, volume, wellbeing and period of trees, separately or all in all.

Without the study of woodland biometrics, backwoods the executives would be diminished to a calling restricted to perception and portrayal. Endeavors at silvicultural medicines would be irregular and without definition, either earlier or resulting to a treatment activity. Woodland stock, site development limit, backwoods wellbeing or reasonable limit would be obscure. The most fundamental property of any science is the capacity to measure all ascribes inside some healthy degree of accuracy and consistency. Some clearly famous silvicultural remedies have been advanced with the expressed objective of accomplishing "ideal future condition".

The timberland chief ought to know about the outcomes of following up on these objectives. A model from focal Oregon is a current solution to diminish all sections of land to roughly 4 – 6 enormous ponderosa pine trees per section of land also, consume any remaining vegetation. The distributed objective is "living space rebuilding to a heat proof environment". Be that as it may, these lingering trees were set up and developed to these aspects in shut shade stands. Because of their size and energy, these lingering trees have little limit with respect to future development or adjustment from wind pressure. Accordingly, openness to winds has made some remaining trees remove or equal the initial investment before the collecting project workers have left the site. A subsequent solution to intermittently consume these stands to forestall rapidly spreading fire will guarantee that there won't ever be a timberland at this area later on when the current over story of leftover trees pass on and tumble down
