Kokkuvõte	Allometric equations predict tree above-ground or total biomass from easily measured tree dimensions—typically diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and wood density. Grounded in biological allometry (scaling laws) and codified by Chave, Niklas, and others, allometric equations are essential tools for rapid biomass assessment without tree harvesting. Used globally for carbon accounting, yield estimation, and ecosystem characterization.	Stand basal area is a fundamental forest mensuration metric representing the total cross-sectional area of tree stems per unit land area, typically expressed in square meters per hectare. Formalized across twentieth-century forestry literature (notably by Husch, Beers, and Kershaw), basal area serves as a key indicator of forest density, biomass accumulation, and competitive pressure, essential for yield prediction and stand management planning.
