What are Trecoder calipers used for?
Trecoder tree calipers measure stem diameter at breast height (DBH) for timber inventory, growth monitoring, and forest stand assessment — a fundamental measurement in forestry management.
Are Trecoder calipers digital or manual?
Trecoder offers both manual and electronic digital calipers. Digital models can connect to data recorders for efficient forest inventory data collection in large-scale timber cruise programs.
What is the standard measurement height for tree diameter?
