What is a cord in terms of volume?

A cord is a volume unit for stacked firewood defined as 128 cubic feet or about 3.62 cubic metres.

What does one decistere represent?

One decistere equals one tenth of a stere, or 0.1 cubic metre (100 litres).

Why convert from cord to decistere?

Converting to decistere provides smaller metric units useful for precise measurement and reporting, especially with historical or regional timber volume measures.
