Kokkuvõte	Forest carbon stock estimation quantifies the amount of carbon stored in tree biomass and other forest components, typically expressed in tonnes of carbon per hectare. Formalized by Brown, Chave, and international bodies such as the IPCC and FAO, this method is foundational for climate change mitigation accounting, carbon credits, and monitoring progress toward climate commitments. Accurate carbon assessment enables identification of high-priority reforestation areas and verification of carbon offset projects.	Tree height measurement—determining the vertical distance from ground to tree top—is a cornerstone of forest inventory and biomass estimation. Ranging from classical optical instruments (clinometer, Abney level) to modern laser hypsometers and airborne LiDAR, tree height quantification enables calculation of volume, biomass, site index (productivity), and forest structural characterization essential for management, research, and carbon accounting.
