Description

DBH computes diameter (at breast height) based on circumference (at breast height).
circum computes circumference (at breast height) based on diameter (at breast height).
They are based on circle diameter and perimeter formulas.

Usage

dbh(circum)

circum(dbh)

Arguments

circum	numeric, vector of circumference.
dbh	numeric, vector of diameter.

Value

dbh, returns diameter and circum, returns circumference.
