Use this forestry calculation to summarize a measured tree, plot, canopy, fuel, biomass, carbon, growth, density, or wood-volume quantity under a stated inventory convention.

Plot Square Meters (m2)

Required number input.

Radius in metres of a circular sample plot from its ground area in square metres. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Radius Meters (m)

The resulting radius meters returned as a number.

• Density, spacing, stocking, and plot-expansion metrics depend on species or stand model, plot area, edge correction, diameter threshold, spatial pattern, and reference maximum. They are not interchangeable measures of competition.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Use locally validated equations and inventory protocols, retain species and measurement metadata, aggregate with appropriate plot expansion and sampling weights, and report uncertainty with stand-level results.

• Plot Area Circular

  Ground area in square metres of a circular plot from its radius.

• Canopy Cover Percentage Forestry

  Canopy-covered projected ground area as a percentage of total sample plot area.

• Expansion Factor Plot

  Per-hectare expansion factor for each tree counted in a sample plot of known square-metre area.
