Criterion RD 1000 Basal Area Factor-Scope and Dendrometer Explained
Posted by Tyler on 4/2/2018 to
Tutorial Videos
Tutorial video on the Criterion RD 1000 as explained by our former President Jon Aschenbach.
Laser Technology’s Criterion RD 1000 is the first electronic BAF-scope and dendrometer that is capable of visually determining if trees fall in or out of a given plot as related to a specified Basal Area Factor (BAF). It also internally computes the limiting distance for questionable, borderline trees and determines if they are in or out of the plot. It measures the diameter of a tree at any given height and provides the ability to determine the height at which a specific diameter occurs. This video demonstrates how to timber cruise and determine if trees are in or out of a sample plot and how to measure a diameter of a tree.
