269 results about "Diameter at breast height" patented technology

Diameter at breast height, or DBH, is a standard method of expressing the diameter of the trunk or bole of a standing tree. DBH is one of the most common dendrometric measurements. Tree trunks are measured at the height of an adult's breast. However, this is defined differently in different countries and situations. In many countries the diameter has been measured usually at 1.3 metres above ground. In some countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Burma, India, Malaysia, and South Africa, breast height diameter has historically been measured at a height of 1.4 metres at some times, but because of much active research into allometrics that are being applied to trees and forests, the convention of 1.3 m is now more appropriate. Previously 4.5 ft (1.37 m) was used. The height can make a substantial difference to the measured diameter. Ornamental trees are usually measured at 1.5 metres above ground.

Tending method for promoting western sichuan subalpine natural secondary forest to restore by utilizing reserved trees

The invention discloses a tending method for promoting western sichuan subalpine natural secondary forest to restore by utilizing reserved trees. The method comprises the following steps: S1, selecting abies faxoniana, dragon spruce, hemlock, red birch and white birch as target tree species which need restoring in the secondary forest; S2, selecting the reserved trees; when the target tree species are the abies faxoniana, the dragon spruce or the hemlock, controlling the diameters at breast heights of the reserved trees to be more than or equal to 25cm; when the target tree species are the red birch or the white birch, controlling the diameters at breast heights of the residual trees to be more than or equal to 35cm; S3, dividing the restoration stage of the natural secondary forest according to the importance value of dominant tree species of community, wherein the restoration stage of the natural secondary forest is divided into a bushwood stage, a birch broad-leaved forest stage and a mixed broadleaf-conifer forest stage; S4, tending at the bushwood stage, tending at the birch broad-leaved forest stage and tending at the mixed broadleaf-conifer forest stage. In the restoration process of the western sichuan subalpine natural secondary forest, the reserved trees are fully utilized to tend and manage the secondary forest, so that the adverse effects of felling to the service function of a forest ecosystem can be slowed down, update is promoted, and the time for enabling the secondary forest to be restored into a forest after felling is shortened.
