New Tree-Measurement Concepts: Height Accumulation, Giant Tree, Taper and Shape.

摘要

An entirely new concept of tree measurement was announced by the author in 1948. Since the original theory and applications have subsequently been broadened considerably, it seems advisable to publish the entire development in readily usable form, along with other material helpful in tree measurement. This paper not only describes the theory and application of the new concept but also makes available for the first time a giant-tree table, and discusses tree taper and shape.
