Spanish term or phrase: mr
I'm translating a Chilean real estate report and the land is used for forestry. The report refers to "mr/ha" or "Valor mr pulpable". I think mr refers to "Metros Rectos", but I'm not sure and I don't know if there is an equivalent measurement used in English.

Explanation:
This question has been asked before - see link below. I don’t think there is an equivalent in English.


En Chile por ejemplo, como unidad de medida de madera pulpable se ha utilizado el metro ruma (mr), que consiste en una pila o ruma de piezas o trozos de madera de 1 m. de altura, 1 m. de ancho y 2,44 m. de largo, unidad que equivale a 2,44 metros estéreos (Cancino et al., 1997).

"- 1 Metro ruma (Mr): = 1m x 1m x 2,44 metros; = 2,44 m3 estereos
- 1 Pulgada pinera : = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 10,5 pies.
- 1 Pulgada maderera: = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 12 pies."
