The dendrometers measure the daily hydro-ecological pulse and seasonal growth of trees. To avoid confounding effects of bark and stem tissues wetting by the rain, the dendrometers need to be covered from direct rain.<br /><br />For the roots, two boards of 1-inch thickness and around 25 (height) x 30 (width) cm are needed. One or two complementary pieces with 90-degree angles are used to add strength to the assembled A-like hut.<br /><br />As for the stems, it is important to cover the stemflow from above and direct rain from above and the sides. The design is also simple and involves a board of 20x20 cm as a roof and two lateral pieces of 20x10 cm.
