I'm translating a Chilean real estate report and the land is used for forestry. The report refers to "mr/ha" or "Valor mr pulpable". I think mr refers to "Metros Rectos", but I'm not sure and I don't know if there is an equivalent measurement used in English.

See links below - metro ruma = 1 m x 1 m x 2.44 m
This question has been asked before - see link below. I don’t think there is an equivalent in English.
En Chile por ejemplo, como unidad de medida de madera pulpable se ha utilizado el metro ruma (mr), que consiste en una pila o ruma de piezas o trozos de madera de 1 m. de altura, 1 m. de ancho y 2,44 m. de largo, unidad que equivale a 2,44 metros estéreos (Cancino et al., 1997).
"- 1 Metro ruma (Mr): = 1m x 1m x 2,44 metros; = 2,44 m3 estereos
- 1 Pulgada pinera : = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 10,5 pies.
- 1 Pulgada maderera: = 1 pulg x 10 pulg x 12 pies."

"La unidad de volumen es el metro ruma (mr), que consiste en una pila de madera con corteza de 2,44 m de largo por 1 m de alto y 1 m de ancho (Souter et al, 2003)."

metro ruma (a pile of wood for pulp with a volume of 2.44 m3: 1 x 1 x 2.44 m)

2.4 Stacked wood
Products such as firewood and pulp logs are frequently commercialized according to their volume in piles or stacks. A stere metre is the volume of a stack of 1×1×1 metres (a cubic metre stacked), and it is used for firewood. For pulp the unit most used in Chile is the metro ruma, a section of 1 × 1 metres in a stack of logs 2.44 m long. It may be with bark or without bark. A unit common in North America is the cord, that corresponds to a stack of 4 × 8 feet with logs 4 feet long.
CHILE•PERÚ
montón (‖ conjunto de cosas puestas sin orden).
I don't think there's a equivalent in English. It's like a disorderly pile of things.
