What is a decistere used for?

Decistere is primarily used for measuring small volumes of stacked timber or firewood, especially in contexts using stere-based volume measurements.

Why convert decistere to acre-foot?

This conversion helps translate timber volume data into large water volume units commonly employed in water resource and irrigation management.

Are decistere and stere still commonly used units?

Decistere is an obsolete unit rarely in use today, typically appearing in historical or specific timber industry contexts.
