Table 4.

Tree value (US$) by use of VAT03. The values are related to the effects in price if trunk area and largest available trees (CTLA 2000) were used. The value of these three individual trees would increase 1.9 to 3.6 times using trunk area instead of circumference, and 4.2 to 9.3 times if the largest available tree was used instead of a fixed size of 18 20 cm (7.2 to 8 in.) circumference at 100 cm (40 in.) above ground.
