This manuscript is a resubmission of an earlier submission. The following is a list of the peer review reports and author responses from that submission.
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Review
The submitted manuscript (MS) deals with the topic of development of a continuous tree diameter at breast height measurement system (Forests-2498558). In my opinion, despite the actual topic the MS does not meet the minimal standards required for an international journal Forests. My concerns regarding the publication of MS are especially due to the unclear goal of the MS, non-standard structure of the article and unsatisfactory quality of the chapter Discussion. In following notes the most important objections will be explained.
1. The goal of the study is not defined. Therefore the reader is not able to identify the key message of the MS.
2. The chapters of the MS are unbalanced regarding their extent. This problem is probably mostly visible in comparison of the chapters Discussion and Conclusion. The MS lacks the standard structure of a scientific paper (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions), e.g. a clear specification of chapters „Material and Methods“ and „Results“ is lacking.
3. The chapter Discussion has not the required quality. The authors did not use here a single reference to a scientific paper. Discussion therefore lacks its crucial sense.
4. In the text of the MS many duplicate informations are present (e.g. L 45–47 and L 429–431, L 50–60 and L 417–425, L 350–353 and 461–466).
Regarding my negative statement, I consider the commenting of the detailed point-by-point remarks as irrelevant.
As a conclusion, I think the material presented in this MS is worth publishing in an international journal. Therefore, I encourage the author/s to prepare the improved version of the MS and resubmit it to the journal Forests.
Reviewer 2 Report
The article describes a new device for automatic, continuous measurement of tree breast diameter. The research provides the methods of construction of the device and an experiment with two species.
I recommend the publication after minor revisions below:
Figure 2 needs more resolution.
Figure 3 - include the meaning of "d" and "e" in the legend
line 235 -... Magnolia(note that... add space after the parenthesis
