In forestry, a tree crown measurement is one of the tree measurements taken at the crown of a tree, which consists of the mass of foliage and branches growing outward from the trunk of the tree. The average crown spread is the average horizontal width of the crown, taken from dripline to dripline as one moves around the crown.

A tree that appears borderline using a BAF 10 instrument was measured as 12.4 inches (310 mm) DBH. The horizontal distance from the sampling point to the center of the tree is 34 feet (10 m). DBH x PRF = Limiting Distance 12.4in. x 2.75ft./in. = 34.1ft. 34.1 feet (limiting distance) is greater than 34 feet (measured distance), tree is in.
The plant is long-lived, has low mortality, and can survive many years without fire. However, fire suppression is the major threat to the survival of the species. [ 7 ] Due to the loss of its habitat, the plant is federally listed as an endangered species of the U.S. [ 6 ]
Leaf area index (LAI) is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes plant canopies. It is defined as the one-sided green leaf area per unit ground surface area (LAI = leaf area / ground area, m 2 / m 2) in broadleaf canopies. [1] In conifers, three definitions for LAI have been used: Half of the total needle surface area per unit ground ...
