it's doubtlessly an abbreviation, which we generally substitute by the full 
version if possible (would be diameter at breast height).

I would tag this as trunk_diameter or similar to the used diameter_crown as 
diameter_trunk
Or just as diameter similar to circumference (which is documented on the tree 
page).
The specifics (measured at 1.3 meters above ground or similar in imperial 
units) could be implicit (and documented in the wiki).


For me, dbh should not be introduced as it is not a word but an abbreviation, 
using a human readable term makes more sense.

As circumference is already documented and introduced, and is easier measurable 
on the ground (ok, it depends on your tools, with measuring tape the 
circumference is easier, with a rigid ruler the diameter is easier) without 
logging the tree, and as the diameter can roughly be estimated with the 
circumference given (assuming a circular section), we could also think about 
converting dbh to circumference tags. Having both seems redundant, and these 
numbers are indicative anyway.


cheers,
