epidometría epipedometry Explanation: I don't have an answer, but it sounds like something more specific than silviculture. I did a search of epidometria in google, and several of the hits were forestry academic programs that listed epidometria as one of their courses. For example, the Universidad de San Luis (Argentina) has a curso de Dasonomía, describes its UNIDAD XIV EPIDOMETRIA Evolución del crecimiento individual. El área basal en función del sitio, la especie y la edad. Efecto del número de individuos por unidad de superficie sobre el área basal y el volumen. Efecto del manejo sobre la producción en volumen. Efecto del raleo sobre el Incremento corriente anual (ICA) y sobre el incremento medio anual (IMA). Duración del turno de corta. Factores de crecimiento. Análisis de los anillos de crecimiento. (dasonomía, Estudio de la conservación, cultivo y aprovechamiento de los montes—RAE) The closest I could find in English was Epipedometry, n. [Gr. 'epi`pedos on the ground, level ('epi` + pe`don ground) + -metry.] (Geom.) The mensuration of figures standing on the same base. [Obs.] [1913 Webster] May I suggest writing to a forestry college? People are usually very generous when one approaches them with questions of this sort. ¡Buena suerte! Reference: http://www.forestrycolleges.com/links.html |

epidometría auxology Explanation: "auxology" is the science of growth: The term is usually referred to human growth, but at least here: http://www.efi.fi/members/members/romania/icas it's used in the context of Forest Management. The page has links to various Forestry Departments/Institutions in the USA that you could contact to research the issue. |
