Basal Area from Girth Measured @ Breast Height in Centimetres
Calculate the basal area in square metres from the girth of a tree measured at breast height.
Girth of tree is measured at 1.3 metres above the ground.
To calculate for one tree:
Basal area in sq m = (girth ÷ 3.14159)² * 0.00007853975
example:
circumference of tree measured @ breast height = 76 centimetres
76 ÷ 3.14159 = 24.19
24.19 * 24.19 = 585.2321453666172 * 0.00007853975 = 0.04596 sq metres of basal area
Basal Area from Tree Girth Measured @ BH
Calculation
- tree girth measured @ breast height in centimetres
- average thickness of bark in centimetres
- decimal rounding preset @ 5
Result
- diameter of tree in centimetres
- basal area of tree in square metres
(if no value is used for bark thickness, basal area and diameter of tree includes the bark)
