forest tree population
Explanation:
Fico na dúvida: este termo se refere às árvores ou às pessoas na floresta? Conforme a USP/ESALQ:
"Inventário florestal é toda atividade objetivando a quantificação e qualificação das florestas (árvores, fauna, insetos, etc), com vistas a produção de madeira e outros produtos e /ou a conservação ambiental, utilizando-se de técnicas estatísticas de amostragem." (veja link)

Caso não inclua pessoas, sugiro a tradução acima, para evitar confusão.

"Forest tree population" generates 27 million hits in Google, so it would seem to be a normal expression.
