Abstract In this study, we compare the efficiency of double sampling using point sampling and fixed-area plots for sawtimber volume estimates in a mixed-hardwood, oak-dominated stand. Multiple sample sizes and combinations were evaluated to determine optimum double-sample ratios. Results indicatedthat double, point-sampling schemes are more efficient in terms of field time and sampling errors than double-sampling schemes incorporating fixed-area plots. Data suggested that the most efficient ratio of measured and nonmeasured points with double sampling varies on the basis of the nonmeasuredvariable used and desired SE percentage levels for the inventory.
