Three basic techniques are proposed for reducing the variance of the stand volume estimate provided by cylinder sampling and Ueno's method. Ueno's method is based on critical height sampling but does not require measurement of critical heights. Instead, a count of trees whose critical heights are less than randomly generated heights is used to estimate stand volume. Cylinder sampling selects sample trees for which randomly generated heights fall within cylinders formed by tree heights and point sampling plot sizes. The methods proposed here for variance reduction in cylinder sampling and Ueno's method are antithetic variates, importance sampling, and control variates. Cylinder sampling without variance reduction was the most efficient of 12 methods compared in computer simulation that used estimated measurement times. However, cylinder sampling requires knowledge of a combined variable individual tree volume equation. Of the three variance reduction techniques applied to Ueno's method, antithetic variates performed best in computer simulation.
