Height

The vertical height from the ground to the top of a tree, or to the top of the overstorey layer of a forest. Three height classes are used for forest in Australia's National Forest Inventory: Low forest, Medium forest and Tall forest.

See Growth stage, Forest, Low forest, Medium forest, Stand, Overstorey, Tall forest.

The diagram is a three-by-three grid showing how Australia’s native forests are classified into nine structural classes of three crown cover classes (Woodland, Open, Closed) by three stand height classes (Low, Medium, Tall).
