Using a dbh tape to measure a tree
Рет қаралды 615
Күн бұрынDr. Larkin Powell with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln demonstrates how to use a dbh (diameter at breast height) tape to measure a tree. Watch him discover how huge the silver maple is in his backyard! This video is used for an on-line course in Wildlife Field Techniques.

Help! I have this exact tape measure. I thought it would be useful, but i don't understand why the linear side starts so far from the zero?? The zero line is is about 5 1/2 inches from the hook.

Hi there. It is just made to measure as I show in the video. Just go around the tree and use the zero mark to read the reading. Or if you are not using in a tree just align with the zero mark at the beginning.

@@larkinpowell thanks for your reply. I see that is realy only for measuring diameter now. Not very useful for me, since i only measure circumference/ diameter occasionally but linear constantly. I wish there was a version of this with the same hook and with flat tape but with conventional markings like on a normal carpentry tapemeasure
