Non invasive fixing by tape

D RL 26 C non-invasive fixing
  • no effect on tree growth
  • integrated value for whole radial profile in measured height
  • almost identical thermal expansion of wood and stainless steel

Precise increment records

Dendrometer data
  • efficient tool for field measurement
  • comprises information about growth, water stress and freezing up of the trunk
  • low maintenance and energy requirements compared to sophisticated measuring systems such as sap flow for instance
  • together with soil water potential measurement it gives realistic picture of drought stress and the tree response to it

SDI-12 data output

  • asynchronous serial communications protocol for intelligent micro-processor based sensors
  • sensor typically takes a measurement, makes computations based on the raw sensor reading, and outputs the measured data in engineering units
  • allows connection of set of sensors serially on one cable line

Measure trees with different diameter by simple changing the base plate
