the area of the cross-section of a tree at breast height (about 4.5 feet above ground) usually expressed in square feet. Often used to measure density. Can be used to describe a single tree or the sum of an entire area.

some stuff to be added
here are some maths for forestry notes, if someone has time they can use them and add them in here with links:

Basal Area of a Tree is the area of a given section of land that is occupied by the cross-section of tree trunks:BA = DBH²*π/4 (NB for DBH in cm BA=0.0000 7854 *DBH²) result in m² per haThe basal area of a forest stand can be found by adding the basal areas (as calculated above) of all of the trees in an area and dividing by the area of land in which the trees were measured.The plot area big enough for the tree to be counted isA=R²*πSo the basal area density is the BAF
BAF[m²〖ha〗^(-1) ]=10 000*ba/A=10 000*(DBH^2*π/4)/((DBH/(W/L))^2*π)=(10 000)/4*(W/L)^2=((50*W)/L)^2Each tree in ACS represents the same BAF m² per hectare.Represented number of trees
