While I was procrastinating I decided to look up how many trees I have measured during my time doing ecology. Specifically I wanted to know how many trees I had hugged while measuring their trunk diameter with a DBH tape. So I sifted through my old spreadsheets and added up the numbers, it wasn’t that difficult, really.
So below is a table of all the trees I’ve measured, separated by country:
| Country | Trees measured |
|---|---|
| Angola (2018) | 2252 |
| Republic of Congo (2017) | 2161 |
| Brazil (2016) | 189 |
| Peru (2015) | 1093 |
| Total | 5695 |
I think 5695 trees is quite a lot! I’ll have to take a picture with the 6000th tree.
