In a text describing the production of a eucalyptus farm. The phrase reads:
Na medida em que a porção acrescentada tem valor inferior à madeira para celulose, por volta de 30% abaixo, vamos atribuir este desconto ao volume final, resultando num volume de 475 m3/estéreo por hectare, que será utilizado no fluxo de caixa que apontaram os resultados econômicos da exploração da floresta.

cubic metre
All they're doing here is repeating "m3" in words. "Stere" is also correct (and mean cubic metre) but I've never seen it used.

One reason that 'stere' is not commonly used in English is that the English cubic measure of wood is the 'cord'. This is what Encyclopaedia Britannica says: "The stere (from Greek stereos, “solid”) was originally defined by law and used in France in 1793, primarily as a measure for firewood. It is thus the metric counterpart of the cord, one standard cord (128 cubic feet of stacked wood) being equal to 3.625 steres."
