The standard crown depth and radius relationships

Parameters

Parameter nameDescription
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 a

where:

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 b

where
