Statistical analysis of availability of the linden stands has been performed on the base of the latest inventory data base with characteristics of Ukrainian forests. The verification of information of linden tree steams has been done, and the necessity of developing of a number of forest estimation standards for the studied species was proved on its basis. A sufficient amount of research material has been collected and statistical analysis has been performed. The results of research of the basic forest mensuration indicators of linden trees and stands are presented. Methods of developing appropriate forest mensuration standards are outlined. Correlation analysis was performed and the interrelations between the main forest mensuration indicators were investigated. Mathematical models of height, volume of tree trunks and crown, size-quality structure and model of distri-bution series of trees according to diameter and categories of technical competence have been developed. A system of standards for the valuation of linden stands has been developed - discharge tables for linden stands, tables of the volume of linden tree trunks, tables assortment of size-quality structure, category assortment tables for the linden tree stands different age, tables of merchantability structure of premature and mature linden tree stands were developed. The statistical verification and substantiation of the adequacy of the developed mathematical models has been carried out.
