What volume does one decistere represent?

One decistere equals one tenth of a stere, which corresponds to 0.1 cubic metres or 100 litres.

Why convert decistere to centiliters?

The conversion helps express large, historically used timber volumes into smaller metric units suitable for culinary or laboratory uses.

Is the decistere commonly used today?

No, decistere is an obsolete unit rarely used outside specialized or historical forestry contexts.
