\'the empirical estimation of board grades\' Is it your (1)?

the average (strength performances) of boards (in each grade) based on quite a long period of visual grading (with follow-up strength tests). [The suggestion is, I think, that because it is based on quite a long period of qualitative visual assessment (=> \"experience\" and \"comparison\"), by now, the grading system should be quite a good guide to the actual strength of the boards.]

the average influence of these knots and other characteristics in terms of (= in relation to) the strength of the boards

“反映了板材的一般状况”;


Explanation:
上下文少了一点,可能要再琢磨一下。

总的来说,木材的目测分级体系是(一个)定性的(方法),它反映了经历了较长时间(放置?)的板材的基本状况。

如果上下文有定量指标,似乎应译作平均值--比如,几级对应什么样的参数等,否则让人觉得有些不合乎汉语习惯。没有看到全文很难给以肯定的答复,因为lai\'an 老师的看法也很有道理,我本来想写没写上去。

如何翻译下面的:averages of board feet per acre 呢?

Redwood forests have the highest biomass of any terrestrial ecosystem in the world, more than 8 times the total above ground biomass of a tropical rainforest (Snyder 1992). Common averages of board feet per acre range from 125,000 to 150,000, and the record from a single tree comes from Humboldt County at 480,000 board feet of prime, first class lumber, or enough to build 22 5-room houses (Snyder 1992).
