Abstract
In the Swiss National Forest Inventory (NFI) , wood volume and changes in wood volume are estimated based on the stem volume of individual trees using various models: stem volume models and tariff models, models estimating volumes of large and small branches and growth models. Many of the models applied in the fourth NFI were described in previous publications, but some of them have subsequently been completed or adjusted based on methodological developments. This chapter mainly updates descriptions published previously.
