The height of the tree above a level baseline can be determined by measuring the angle to the top of the tree from two different positions, one farther than the other along the same baseline and horizontal plane, if the distance between these two measuring points is known. Extended baseline tree height measurement
Historically, roof pitch was designated in two other ways: A ratio of the ridge height to the width of the building (span) [6] and as a ratio of the rafter length to the width of the building. [7] Commonly used roof pitches were given names such as: Greek: the ridge height is 1 ⁄ 9 to 1 ⁄ 7 the span (an angle of 12.5° to 16°);
Tree height is the vertical distance between the base of the tree and the highest sprig at the top of the tree. The base of the tree is measured for both height and girth as being the elevation at which the pith of the tree intersects the ground surface beneath, or "where the acorn sprouted."
If your property is damaged by a fallen tree, whether it originated from your property or a neighbor’s, your first move should be to contact your homeowners insurance company. From there, your ...

The Quadricentennial Bur Oak, located in Plano’s Bob Woodruff Park, was around before the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787, arborists say.
Dairy cattle grazing in Germany. In agriculture, grazing is a method of animal husbandry whereby domestic livestock are allowed outdoors to free range (roam around) and consume wild vegetations in order to convert the otherwise indigestible (by human gut) cellulose within grass and other forages into meat, milk, wool and other animal products, often on land that is unsuitable for arable farming.
The actual tree line is set by the mean temperature, while the realized tree line may be affected by disturbances, such as logging, [6] or grazing [11] Most human activities cannot change the actual tree line, unless they affect the climate. [6] The tree line follows the line where the seasonal mean temperature is approximately 6 °C or 43 °F.
