Forest Growth report-1
A timber cruise is a sample measurement using an instrument to estimate the stand basal area. The measurements are taken from plots or quadrants, laid out in a random fashion. Using the timber crutch, hold the brass ball for the selected area under your eye and extend the Crutch away until chain is tight. Trees that appear wider than the width of the plastic are big enough or close enough to be counted. An advantage of this particular tool is its ability to correct for slope, as well as a relatively non time consuming way to get an estimation of basal area.
A physical measurement would create samples of timber population by individually measuring the desired population. Similarly they would also be divided into quadrants of desired size and measured accordingly. The data gathered from these measurements is then manipulated to achieve estimation of total population coverage. A diameter of each tree is found indirectly by measuring circumference at breast height. This methods advantage is a more accurate measurement of basal area, since individual trees get measurements. Although this advantage comes as a cost of time, much more time consuming than using an estimation method such as the timber cruise.
TOTAL DBH in 0.575 ha 54.9530
DBH in 1.0 ha 95.5704 The population model displayed is, for the most part, true to the norm of not having a normal distribution around a mean value. Two species, ACMA and ALRU, had all measurements of small values not normally distributed on a mean. THPL had a similar distribution with the majority (54/84 total counted being less than 60 cm DBH). PSME was more centered on the middle value (60-80) with a large number of samples within that range and distributed similarly in both direction. PSME had the largest trees of all sampled, 59/81 sampled were larger than 60 cm DBH. The most trees for each species varied in which size class they were. For ACMA most were between 0-20, ALRU saw most
