Social Sciences - Forestry / Wood / Timber | | Spanish term or phrase: epidometrÃa | Dear colleagues:
I've been looking for this term but I haven`t had any luck so far. I understand that "epidometrÃa" is a disciplione whose aim is to measure the growth of trees.
Thank you in advance,
Luis Medina |

| 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 DasonomÃa, 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.
(dasonomÃa, 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!
