WHAT DOES DENDROMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

dendrometer

Dendrometry

Dendrometry is the branch of botany that is concerned with the measurement of the various dimensions of trees, such as their diameter, size, shape, age, overall volume, thickness of the bark, etc., as well as the statistical properties of tree stands, including measures of central tendency and dispersion of these quantities, wood density, or yearly growth, for instance. The most frequent measurements acquired in the field include ▪ the Diameter at Breast Height ▪ the height of the tree ▪ measures contraction and relaxation of vessels ▪ the horizontal dimension of the canopy These key measurements are used to infer, through allometric relations, other tree properties that may be of greater interest but are harder to measure directly, such as the quantity of commercial wood retrievable, or the amount of carbon sequestered in the plants.

Definition of dendrometer in the English dictionary

The definition of dendrometer in the dictionary is an instrument used for measuring trees, whether the circumference/radius/diameter, the height, or the angle of some part of the tree.
