The size of a tree crown is strongly correlated with the
growth of the tree. The crown displays the leaves to allow
capture of radiant energy for photosynthesis. Thus,
measurement of the tree crown is often made to assist in
the quantification and understanding of the growth of the
tree. The biomass of the crown and the quantity and
quality of the branch material however is also of direct
interest to ecological studies and research into the effects
of trees on pollution. The crown also has great visual
impact. This impact is important in urban forests because
it will affect the perceived beauty of a tree.
