The above equation is an expression for computing the stand density index from the number of trees per acre and the diameter of the tree of average basal area. Assume that a stand with basal area of 150 square feet (14 m 2) and 400 trees per acre is measured. The dbh of the tree of average basal area D is:
Stocking measures account for three things: the cover type and species mixture in the stand, the basal area per acre, and the number of trees per acre. [3] Stocking allows for comparing stands that may have diverse ecology. [4] Stocking is a major part of forest management, both in commercial applications and for restoration or preservation.
Basal area is the cross-sectional area of trees at breast height (1.3m or 4.5 ft above ground). It is a common way to describe stand density. In forest management, basal area usually refers to merchantable timber and is given on a per hectare or per acre basis.
There are different tree species compositions in each region in the world and most of those regions have at least one equation that estimates tree volume from DBH. Research and the application of forest allometry have meshed over time to develop these quick equations to accurately estimate how much volume a particular forest stand holds.
Plant density is defined as the number of plants present per unit area of ground. In nature, plant densities can be especially high when seeds present in a seed bank germinate after winter, or in a forest understory after a tree fall opens a gap in the canopy.
Close to an apartment complex and the Horry County Memorial Library in Carolina Forest at 2250 Carolina Forest Blvd., the 21-acre property’s many trees were cut down and driven away in late ...
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."
