The standard crown depth and radius relationshipsParameters| Parameter name | Description |
|---|
| Crown Height Exponent | The exponent in the standard equation for calculating crown depth. | | Crown Radius Exponent | The exponent in the standard equation for determining the crown radius. | | Maximum Crown Radius (Standard) (m) | The maximum crown radius allowed, in meters. | | Slope of Asymptotic Crown Height | Slope of the standard equation for determining crown depth. | | Slope of Asymptotic Crown Radius | Slope of the standard equation for determining crown radius. |
Crown radius is calculated as: rad = C1 * DBH awhere: - rad is the crown radius, in meters
- C1 is the Slope of Asymptotic Crown Radius parameter
- a is the Crown Radius Exponent parameter
- DBH is the tree's DBH, in cm
Crown radius is limited to a maximum of the value put in the parameter Maximum Crown Radius (Standard) (m). Crown depth is calculated as ch = C2 * height bwhere - ch is the distance from the top to the bottom of the crown cylinder, in meters
- C2 is the Slope of Asymptotic Crown Height parameter
- height is the tree's height in meters
- b is the Crown Height Exponent parameter
