4V2 ft above ground level. See d.b.h.
Almost universally adopted as the standard height for measuring girth, diameter and basal area of standing trees. In India, Burma, America, Union of South Africa, Malaya and some other British Colonies, it is taken at 4 feet 6 inches (1.37 m.) above ground level. Europe, U.K. and most other countries of the Commonwealth have it as 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m.) and this is recommended as a standard for international adherence by FAO. Abbr. b.h. On slopes, breast height is taken on the uphill side. ( BCFT modif.).
The standard height at which the diameter of the stem of a standing tree is measured: 1.3 metres above ground level. By international agreement (through the International Union of Forest Research Organizations), 1.3 m from ground level, at which height the girth or diameter of trees are commonly measured. (Note: l.37 m is used in some parts of the world.)
4.5 feet above ground level. See diameter breast height (DBH).
the standard height, 1.3 m above ground level, at which the diameter of a standing tree is measured.
the standard height at which trunk measurements are made. It is 1.3M above ground level, on the uphill side.
The usual point of measurement of standing tree diameter, i.e. 1.4m above ground level on the uphill side of the tree.
1.3m above ground level. Forestry Victoria
41/2 feet above ground level. See diameter at breast height.
The height at which the diameter of a tree is measured: four feet, six inches above the ground.
The height at which the diameter of a tree is measured. A height of 4 1/2 feet above the ground level. The abbreviation D.B.H. (diameter-breast-height) is usually used.
1.3 metres (43 inches) above the ground on the highest side. Point at which diameter or girth is measured on a standing tree.
