Estimation of diameter breast height of Kikar (Acacia arabica Willd) from stump measurements
Estimation of diameter breast height of Kikar (Acacia arabica Willd) from stump measurements
Raja Walayat Hussain and Hassan Abbas
ABSTRACT
Diameters of kikar (babul) trees were measured at 6
inches (15 cm) interval from ground level up to breast
height 4.5 feet (1.37 meters). Each set of diameters
exhibited a strong linear correlation with diameter
breast height. Separate straight line regression
equations were developed using sets of diameters at
different heights as independent variables and diameter
breast height as dependent variable. Estimations of
diameter breast height were done from these equations
against diameters ranging from 0.5 to 40 inches (1 cm to
100cm at different heights along the stem from ground
level up to 4 feet (1.22 meters).
