Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -the basal area of a tree is defined as the cross-sectional area (usually in square feet) of a single tree at breast height, or 4½ feet above ground. the diameter of a tree at 4½ feet above the ground is called diameter at breast height (dbH).
Detailed explanation-2: -The circumference measured is converted into diameter. Diameter values thus obtained for trees were converted to basal area. Where r (radius) = diameter/2 Average basal area of species is calculated and the same multiplied by density to get total basal area of the species.
