Total height of a single tree Total height of a single tree Forest Measurement and Modelling. Total height is a very important tree variable.
Tree height is well correlated with other important tree and stand parameters.
Tree volume Site - an indicator of the environmental conditions that exist in the immediate area. Thus, total tree height is often measured to provide quantitative information about a tree as well as qualitative information about the area. In trees with a single, straight stem, this corresponds to the total length of the stem. The linear component will always be greater than the vertical component for leaning trees. However, unless the lean is severe, the difference is rarely critical.
