Basal area at breast height


Explanation:
Based on these references:

胸高断面積による材積推定の研究(第10報) : 吉無田国有林におけるPlot SamplingとPlotless Samplingの比較
Studies of the volume estimate by the basal area at breast height
http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110002838805/

2. Basal area at breast height. For every standing tree the basal area at breast height is directly measured by the aid of " Bitterlich's Tarifmesswinkel ". This handy instrument works satisfactorily. Three readings with a difference of 120 degrees from each other, must be taken for each tree. The readings are not made as to diameter, as usually, but in terms of basal area to facilitate the calculation work done by the punched card system (IBM).
