form factor norway spruce and corsican pine

the average Basal Area is 8607cm2 (86.07m2).

 

8607cm2 is 8607/(100*100)=0.8607m2/0.1ha=8.607m2/ha

 

8.60*8.34=71.7m3/ha

Oops didnt convert cm2 to m2 correctly.

 

reworking my figures (on average figures for plots)

 

plot size 0.01Ha (circle rdius of 5.6m)

 

total basal area = 8607cm2 = 8.6m2

 

plot vol = 8.6x8.34 =71.72m3

 

Ha vol = 71.72 / 0.01 = 7172 m3

 

Does that look better?

 

Thanks for your help

Yes this is 0.1ha as near as makes no difference

 

total basal area = 8607cm2 = 8.6m2

I worked this above, I make it 0.862

 

see my last post there are 10,000 cm2 to a m2

Sorry I'll get there in the end

 

OK reworking of reworking -

 

But also to note is that the literature i have states that the 5.6 m plot is 0.01ha not 0.1 is this correct?

 

plot size 0.01Ha (circle rdius of 5.6m)

 

total basal area = 8607cm2 /10,000 = 0.86m2

 

plot vol = 0.86x8.34 =7.17m3

 

Ha vol = 7.17 / 0.01 = 717 m3

Yes my mistake there, its =Pi()*5.6^2, paste that in excel to get m2 and then divide by 10000 to get to ha.

 

That's a fair crop, better than what was planted on Kilvey Hill in 69.
