Tree Age Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Tree Age (TA) is:

\[ TA = \frac{G}{GR} \]

Where:

\( TA \) is the Tree Age (years)
\( G \) is the Girth (diameter) at about 2-3 feet off the ground (m)
\( GR \) is the Growth Rate (growth factor)

What is Tree Age?

Tree age is the estimated amount of time that a tree has been alive. This can typically be estimated using the girth of a tree and its growth factor, also known as the growth rate. This method provides a rough estimate of the tree's age, which can be useful for various ecological and conservation purposes.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Girth (G) = 2 meters
Growth Rate (GR) = 0.5

Using the formula to calculate the Tree Age:

\[ TA = \frac{2}{0.5} = 4 \text{ years} \]

The Tree Age is 4 years.
