Pando Quaking Aspen Clone (About 43 ha)

Pando is one genetically identified quaking-aspen clone in Utah that appears above ground as tens of thousands of trees. Its mapped area is rounded to 43 hectares. The top-view asset uses a clearly disclosed 655.7 m equal-area square side for scale, not a claim that the real boundary is square.

What do these numbers mean?

The base area is about 430,000 m².

Calculation

655.74 m × 655.74 m = 430,000 m²

That is about 60.2 football fields measuring 105 m × 68 m.

Calculation

430,000 m² ÷ (105 m × 68 m) = 60.22 ≈ 60.2
