Description

Standard increment boring technique to extract tree cores for measuring annual ring widths, then calculating basal area increment over specific time periods to quantify stem growth.

Typical Equipment

  • Haglöf 2-Thread Increment Borer
  • labeled plastic straws
  • drying oven
  • microscope
  • precision digital calipers

Output Measurements

  • ring width
  • basal area growth
  • annual growth increment
