The invention discloses a method for measuring the height of a tree and the volume of wood by means of a total station under the condition that the crown is covered. According to the method for measuring the height of the tree and the volume of wood by means of the total station under the condition that the crown is covered, the tree with the crowned covered serves as the study object, the total station serves as the measuring tool, the diameter d0 of the root portion of the trunk, the diameter d1.3 at breast height, 1.3m away from the ground, of the trunk, the trunk diameter dn of the highest position, within the vision reachable range, of the covered part of the crown, the distance h between the highest observable position and the ground, the trunk diameter dm of any position between the position, 1.3m away from the ground, of the trunk and the highest observable position, and the distance hm between the any position and the ground are measured in sequence, then the height of the tree and the volume of wood are measured and calculated accurately, field measurement processes are simplified, measurement intensity is relieved, and meanwhile the difficulty that the height of the tree and the volume of wood can not be measured under the condition that the crown is covered is overcome.
