(11C) A Program for the Basic Formula Method for Tree Valuation

[SlideRule]

Extracts from A Program for the Basic Formula Method for Tree Valuation, Journal of Arboriculture 16(11): November 1990.

ABSTRACT
A program is presented that computes tree valuation by the basic formula method. This program is designed to support portable, hand held, battery operated programmable calculators which are suitable for use in the field. Use of this program eliminates computational error that can jeopardize the validity and practical usefuleness of tree valuation by the basic formula method.

The Program
This program is written in Reverse Polish Notation … and calculates tree valuation using the basic formula method. It requires that the user key in tree diameter, species factor, condition factor and location factor. The program internally computes basal area, basic value … and the net value of the tree. The program presented here was written for use on the Hewlett-Packard HP-11C calculator …
