A slope map was generated from the topographic map by using Digital Elevation Model technique. Site ecology was used as the basis for calculating the volume and biomass . It was provided through overlay between land cover and s lope by using ERDAS and ARC/INFO in Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) AIT. Six forest classes were produced. The tree volume was calculated based on a ground study of 20 sample plots. The results indicate that mean volume varies in between forest c lasses. The highest volume is in the forest c lass corresponding to primary forest on plat to gentle slope in represents almost 400 cubic meters per hectare and bole biomass 2 40 tons per hectare. Vegetation analysis shows that there are some species which only grow in specific forest classes and some commercial species have an optimum volume on specific slopes.
