A stand volume equation is presented for black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.)B.S.P.), based on a sample of 785 felled trees. To ensure that the equation will provide accurate estimates of the volume of both variously stocked stands and of individual trees, stand volume was expressed as the sum of individual tree volumes without direct reference to the size of the area that the trees occupy. The equation will reduce the problem of forecasting stand volume to the simpler problem of forecasting separately the individual components in the stand-volume equation.
