## Description

This MCP server provides precise timber volume and basal area calculations for forestry management. It allows users to estimate board foot yields using standard log rules like Doyle, Scribner, and International 1/4-inch. The toolset includes `calculate_log_volume` for individual tree volume, `calculate_basal_area` for cross-sectional area, and `estimate_acreage_yield` to project total timber volume per acre based on sample data. It accounts for natural taper in large-diameter trees to ensure accuracy.

## Tools

### calculate_log_volume
Calculates the estimated board foot volume of a single tree using a specific log rule

### estimate_acreage_yield
Calculates the total merchantable timber volume across a defined area based on a sample

### calculate_basal_area
Determines the cross-sectional area of a single tree at breast height

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the volume for a tree with 20 inch DBH and 40 feet of merchantable height using the Doyle rule.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated volume for this tree using the Doyle rule is 145 board feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the basal area for a tree with a 15 inch diameter?
```

**Response:** 
```
The basal area for a tree with a 15 inch diameter is 1.227 square feet.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the yield per acre for a sample where the total volume is 500 board feet, BAF is 2, total basal area is 100 sq ft, and sample size is 0.1 acres.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated total timber volume is 5,000 board feet per acre.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Which log rules are supported?**
The tool supports Doyle, Scribner, and International 1/4-inch log rules.

**How does the tool handle large trees?**
The `calculate_log_volume` tool applies taper deductions for large diameters to account for natural stem narrowing.

**Can I estimate yield per acre?**
Yes, use the `estimate_acreage_yield` tool by providing tree volumes, the BAF used, total basal area sampled, and the sample acreage.
