Allometric Measures at Lamont Sanctuary Forest
Allometric measurements provide essential insights into forest structure and carbon dynamics. At Lamont Sanctuary Forest, researchers collected diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, tree species, and estimated age for hundreds of trees. These data allow us to estimate aboveground biomass, carbon storage potential, and forest growth patterns over time.
Below is a sample table of the allometric data collected in 2024. These measurements were gathered using standardized forestry protocols and analyzed in collaboration with the Lamont Tree Ring Lab. Data includes field measurements and lab-based corrections to ensure consistency.
| Tree Code | Species | DBH (cm) | Height (m) | Estimated Age (years) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LF001 | Oak | 32.5 | 14.2 | 60 |
| LF002 | Maple | 28.1 | 13.5 | 55 |
| LF003 | Hickory | 40.2 | 17.0 | 75 |
