This paper presents a comparison of the accuracies of four ground-survey methods; point sampling (PS), line sampling (LS), circular plot (CP), and concentric circular plot (CCP), when used to estimate the current values of number of stems, basal area and volume per hectare. The comparison was conducted to evaluate the utility of the four methods for continuous forest inventory (CFI) for forest management. Data were gathered on two occasions from a sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. DON) stand in the Takakuma Experimental Forest, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. After entering the data of the entire study area in a file, the sample-trees of each ground-survey sampling methods were selected by a BASIC program. For PS and LS, basal area factor 4 was used. For LS, the line length was 10 m, and stems on both sides of the line were selected. For CP, the radius was 6 m, corresponding to 0.011 ha; for CCP, the radii were 5 and 10 m, corresponding to 0.008 and 0.031 ha respectively. The sampling intensity was 12 samples, and the systematic sampling process was applied 10 times for each method. The accuracy of each method varied according to the variable. On both occasions, CCP was slightly superior to the other three methods for the estimation of basal area and volume, and CP was slightly superior for estimating the number of stems. However, there were no marked differences in sampling error between the four methods. Therefore, the most appropriate method cannot be selected solely on the basis of sampling error.
