Study Notes
Measuring Tree Height
- Tree height is defined as the vertical distance from the base of the tree to the top of the tree, including the crown.
Methods of Measuring Tree Height
- The shadow method is used to measure the height of a standing tree by comparing the length of the tree's shadow to the length of a measuring stick's shadow.
Measuring Felled Trees
- The total height of a felled tree is measured from the base of the tree (where the trunk meets the ground) to the top of the tree.
Crown and Bole Height
- The base of the crown refers to the point where the main branches emerge from the trunk of the tree.
- Bole height refers to the height of the tree trunk from the ground to the base of the crown.
Measuring Tree Height in Meters
- The total height of a felled tree is measured in meters from the base of the tree to the top of the tree, including the crown.
