The DDW is the ruggedized version of the DD-L dendrometer type. Additionally to the features of the simple DD-L version, the DDW dendrometer is modified for the use under especially harsh environmental conditions. A soft, light resistant rubber coating, protects the whole sensor from ingress of water and solid particles.

Suitable for measurements underwater, under snow cover and under heavy exposure to dust (e.g. volcanic ashes or desert dust)
Suitable under exposure to corrosive seawater spray
Plant size specific ordering possible within the 3 to 20 cm diameter range
