The merchantable stem volume accumulated per hectare at any point in the rotation. Multiplied by area and a green-density conversion, it becomes the tonnes the harvest actually delivers.
A 10-year WA blue gum pulp crop growing at ~22 m³/ha/yr carries roughly 200–230 m³/ha of merchantable stem at clearfall.
FWPA ↗Standing volume is the inventory the whole business runs on: it feeds harvest scheduling, haulage planning and the valuation of the estate. Tracking it against the yield curve shows whether the crop is on, ahead of, or behind its plan.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Lift basal area by keeping the stand fully stocked and healthy.
Grow height with early weed and nutrition management.
Re-inventory before harvest so the sale is priced on real volume.
