• Label: Stem diameter at breast height
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0010024
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A stem morphology trait [TO:0000361] which is the maximum [NCIT:C25564] diameter at breast height [ECSO:00000549] for a taxon [NCIT:C40098] in a given population [PCO:0000001] or location [NCIT:C25341].;Maximum diameter at breast height (DBH) for a taxon in a given location. It is commonly referred to as "DBH".
• Additional comments: This trait is always meant to be measured at "breast height", 1.4 m above the ground surface. However, for short plants this will not always be the case, so it is advised to read the methods to confirm at what height plant diameters have been recorded. This trait is not meant to document the DBH of all individuals sampled, but instead the maximum DBH for a typical mature individual within a population or across a taxon.
• units: mm
• allowable range: 0.01 - 5000 mm
