Standgröße

Standgröße is a German term used in technical and scientific contexts to denote the current value or status of a variable in a system at a given moment. It refers to the observed or measured quantity that describes the present state of a process, object, or environment. In many domains, Standgröße is used alongside related terms such as Istgröße (actual value) and Sollgröße (target value), though exact usage can vary by discipline.

In engineering and process control, the Standgröße is the value provided by sensors and instruments and serves as the input for control algorithms. Examples include temperature, pressure, speed, or position. The Standgröße is time-dependent and updated at defined sampling intervals; deviations between the Standgröße and the Sollgröße are used to determine corrective actions by actuators or regulators.

In forestry and ecology, Standgröße can describe characteristics of a forest stand, such as stocking density, mean height, diameter at breast height, basal area, volume, age structure, and species composition. These stand parameters help in assessing growth, yield, management needs, and silvicultural planning.

Because Standgröße is a generic term, its precise meaning depends on the field and the accompanying terminology. Documentation within a specific domain should define what quantity is meant by Standgröße, and how it relates to Sollgröße, Istgröße, and observed measurements.
