Studies of mesquite Neltuma juliflora (Sw.) Raf. wood and productivity are very important because it is one of the few species with potential for forest use in the semi-arid areas of northern Mexico. Management programs and marketing schemes for mesquite wood should be based on field studies to establish models to calculate the volume of timber wood with non-destructive methods. The objective of this research is to provide a methodology the development of mesquite wood estimation models in natural populations of northern Mexico taking into account the tree and the crown area, so that they can be used fast and reliable way. In addition, the ecological characterization of the stands was studied. The equations developed in two sites in Chihuahua, Mexico, resulted with a high degree of reliability. They can serve as a basis for the development of site-specific models.
