Abstract: This paper took systematic sampling as an example in the fourth forest inventory for planning and design in Jinping County of Guizhou Province,and the point sampling with angle gauge & volume standard table and circle-shaped sample tally & two-way tree volume table were compared and analyzed.The results showed that the precisions of the volume estimates from the point sampling with angle gauge and circle-shaped sample tally were respectively 90.28%and 90.38%,exceeding 90% which is the precision standard of the technical specification for the forest inventory in Guizhou.The difference of total forest stand volume between two forest inventories was only 1.63%;The sample tree of the point sampling with angle gauge was less,but more efficient than the circle-shaped sample tally in sampling,and the load of field work of the former was about 40% of the latter;the number of trees per hectare,cross-sectional area at breast height of per hectare and hectare volume were lower than the circle-shaped sample tally in the precisions of estimates.Subcompartment volume cruise with angle gauge & volume standard table,systematic sampling with circle-shaped sample tally & two-way tree volume table are applicable in the sampling control of total volume.

Key words: forest inventory for planning and design, systematic sampling, point sample plot, circle-shaped sample plot, sampling with angle gauge, tally
