Abstract
Although not explicitly recognized, the error of the volume estimates in Continuous Forest Inventory Systems has two main error components, one due to sample plots and another due to volume tables. The common procedure by which the volume estimates are calculated takes into account only the first component; the second component is simply ignored. An approach is shown that introduces the error of the volume tables into the total error of the CFI estimates of average volume per tree, average volume per acre, and growth components such as net change from one to the next occasion, mortality or ingrowth volume.
