Formula and methodology
Formula: Per-stem basal area = pi x (diameterCm / 2)^2; total basal area = per-stem area x stems. Divide cm^2 values by 10,000 for m^2.
This circular stem cross-section estimate uses the supplied diameter and a safe whole-number stem count. It reports per-stem and total area in cm^2 and m^2, with bounded inputs and finite-result guards. It is not wood volume, biomass, yield, carbon, or a stocking recommendation.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Stem diameter — cm; Must be positive.; minimum 0.001; maximum 1000
- Number of stems — stems; Must be a safe whole number.; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Stem diameter | 10 |
| Number of stems | 3 |
Each circular cross-section is about 78.539816 cm^2, and three stems total about 235.619449 cm^2.
Assumptions and limits
- Each supplied stem is represented by a circle with the same supplied diameter at the measurement location.
- Diameter is measured in centimeters and areas are reported in square centimeters or square meters; no taper, irregularity, or unit conversion beyond cm^2 to m^2 is modeled.
- The result is a geometric cross-sectional estimate only and does not infer a forest condition, product quantity, carbon store, or management decision.
