2. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

   Most champion tree programs focus finding and measuring the largest single-trunk example of each species. There are three basic parameters commonly measured to characterize the size of a single trunk tree: tree height measurement, tree girth measurement, and tree crown measurement. Foresters also perform tree volume measurements.

3. Tree girth measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_girth_measurement

   Tree girth measurement diagram. Tree girth is a measurement of the circumference of tree trunk. It is one of the most ancient, quickest, and simplest of foresters' measures of size and records of growth of living and standing trees. The methods and equipment have been standardized differently in different countries.

4. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

   Tree volume is one of many parameters that are measured to document the size of individual trees. Tree volume measurements serve a variety of purposes, some economic, some scientific, and some for sporting competitions. Measurements may include just the volume of the trunk, or the volume of the trunk and the branches depending on the detail ...

5. Diameter at breast height - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_at_breast_height

   Measurement of tree circumference, the tape calibrated to show diameter, at breast height, making sure that the tape is perfectly level and that the tape is not kinked, so as not to skew the reading of the diameter. Diameter at breast height, or DBH, is a standard method of expressing the diameter of the trunk or bole of a standing tree.

6. Tree height measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_height_measurement

   No direct measurement to the tree's trunk or top is taken in the parallax Method. Three verticals method (formerly the triangle method) is a modification of the simpler parallax method. [ 39 ] It is possible to measure the height of a tree indirectly without taking any horizontal sweep angles, which can be difficult to obtain accurately in the ...

7. List of largest giant sequoias - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_giant_sequoias

   The Washington Tree (not listed above) was previously arguably the second largest tree with a volume of 1,354.96 m 3 (47,850 cu ft) (although the upper half of its trunk was hollow, making the calculated volume debatable), but after losing the hollow upper half of its trunk in January 2005 following a fire, it is no longer of exceptional size.

8. List of superlative trees - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superlative_trees

   [70] [71] Groom's measurement may represent the tree at its prime. It was remeasured in 2008 and found to be "more than 200 meters" (more than 656 feet) in circumference; equivalent to an average limb spread of more than 209 feet ( more than 64 meters). The trunk is about ten feet thick (ten meters girth). [72] Oriental plane (Platanus ...

9. Dendrometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrometry

   Dendrometry is the branch of forestry that is concerned with the measurement of the various dimensions of trees, such as their diameter, size, shape, age, overall volume, thickness of the bark, etc., as well as the statistical properties of tree stands, including measures of central tendency and dispersion of these quantities, wood density, or yearly growth, for instance.
