The tallest speciemen in Danum

94.1 m for the tallest specimen was obtained by LiDAR, not reliable on sloping ground. However, the tree was recently climbed, and the average figure of the heights to the highest ground level (90.8 m) and lowest ground level (95.2 m) is 93 m. For more details, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_superlative_trees#Height_measurements_in_Borneo. Krasanen (talk) 10:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

The height of the tallest tree

94.1 m is the initial measurement from an aircraft with LiDAR. As the source article says, the confirming measurement was made with a tape drop by a climber. "Two height measurements were taken, one is from the top to the ground at the upper slope (90.8 m) and another to the ground at the lower slope (95.2 m) of the tree." According to the tree measuring rules, tree heights should be reported to the average ground level, which is commonly calculated as the mean of the highest and the lowest ground levels. See e.g.:

• Tree_height_measurement
• https://www.monumentaltrees.com/en/content/measuringheight/

Thus 93.0 m is the correct height. The initial measurement from the aircraft should not be accepted! See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_superlative_trees#Height_measurements_in_Borneo above.Krasanen (talk) 16:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Done, with an explanation. Krasanen (talk) 17:41, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Time for a List?

Greetings,

As the number of tallest yellow meranti trees is becoming more and more common, and now that the species is the second-tallest tree on Earth, it may well be time to start a list on this article of the tallest yellow meranti trees.

There is already mention of trees at 331 feet, 318 feet, 309 feet, 294 feet, 289 feet, maybe more, and some of them already have names and sources.Ryoung122 21:26, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Very height focused

Howdy,

This article is almost entirely about the tallest individual trees of this species. Would be good to get some more information on it such as: Morphology, ecology, preferred habitat, ect. Might do some research myself in the future but don't have time at the moment. BotanicManic (talk) 00:13, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
