Basal Area Mapping of Trees in Baljurashi Governorate, Al Bahah Region, Saudi Arabia

This map presents the spatial distribution of tree basal area (m²/ha) across Baljurashi Governorate. Basal area values were derived from field-measured diameter at breast height (DBH) data and calculated per plot using standard forestry equations. The dataset highlights variations in stand density and forest structure, with mapped averages ranging from sparse to dense tree cover. The data supports biomass estimation, forest monitoring, and land management decisions by providing a measure of stand occupancy and growth potential.
