Abstract
A test of the efficiency of different systems of air photo stratification was conducted for an area near the Petawawa Forest Experiment Station. While stratification, particularly by cover type, height and canopy density, increased the precision of the estimated total volume and mean annual increment, this increase was not as large as had been hoped for. The main value of air photo stratification may lie in providing a forest type map for management purposes.There is no intention to generalize from the results obtained. They are valid only for the particular forest where the test was carried out.Keywords
