Abstract
The dataset contains tree height data collected in 200 mangrove and non-mangrove trees sampled in various sites in Malaysia. Different height measurement methods were performed, including visual measurements (stick, thumb rule) and precision field instruments (clinometer, laser rangefinder and altimeter), which were compared against benchmark values obtained using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a Leica distometer. The core data have been analysed and interpreted in the paper by Saliu et al. ‘’An accuracy analysis of mangrove tree height mensuration using forestry techniques, hypsometers and UAVs ’’ [1], in which the accuracy of each method for tree height measurement was discussed.
Highlights
The dataset contains tree height data collected in 200 mangrove and non-mangrove trees sampled in various sites in Malaysia
Different height measurement methods were performed, including visual measurements and precision field instruments, which were compared against benchmark values obtained using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a Leica distometer
Raw Each tree height measurement was derived from various techniques, i.e. thumb rule, stick method, Suunto clinometer, Nikon 550 Forestry Pro laser rangefinder and Blume Leiss BL 60 altimeter
