5 Forestry Calculators

Forestry & Timber Calculators

Convert tree breast height diameters to basal area metrics, assess merchantable standing lumber volumes, calculate dry carbon dioxide sequestration offsets, analyze canopy light transmissions, and scale stacked cords of firewood.

Canopy Cover & PAR

Translate canopy cover percentage to Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) transmittance and estimate Leaf Area Index (LAI).

Canopy Settings

Typically ranges from 0.5 (conifers) to 0.7 (dense broadleaf deciduous).

Forestry Core Report

Dendrometric / Silvicultural
PAR Transmittance25.0%Active radiation transmitting to floor
Estimated Leaf Area (LAI)2.31m² leaf / m² ground
Understory Microclimate Estimate
Canopy Gap Fraction (Probability)0.250
Microclimate Temperature Dampening-3.4 °C

Calculated using the Beer-Lambert extinction formula. Higher LAI indexes indicate multilayered vertical canopy structures.

Forestry Scaling Reference Info

Standard forest diameter values are measured at DBH (4.5 feet / 1.37 meters aboveground). Cords of firewood represent stacked wood, which contains roughly 65% solid wood volume and 35% empty airspace gaps.
