The world's superlative trees can be ranked by any factor. Records have been kept for trees with superlative height, trunk diameter or girth, canopy coverage, airspace volume, wood volume, estimated mass, and age. ==Tallest== The heights of the tallest trees in the world have been the subject of considerable dispute and much exaggeration. Modern verified measurements with laser rangefinders, or with tape drop measurements made by tree climbers (such as those carried out by canopy researchers), have shown that some older measuring methods and measurements are often unreliable, sometimes producing exaggerations of 5% to 15% or more above the real height. Historical claims of trees growing to , and even , are now largely disregarded as unreliable, and attributed to human error. Historical records of fallen trees measured prostrate on the ground are considered to be somewhat more reliable. The following are now accepted as the tallest reliably measured specimens from the top 26 species. This list shows only currently standing specimens: #Coast Redwood (''Sequoia sempervirens''): 115.61 m (379.3 ft), "Hyperion", Redwood National Park, California, United States〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grove of Titans, Hyperion )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sequoia )〕 #Mountain Ash (''Eucalyptus regnans''): , "Centurion", Arve Valley, Tasmania, Australia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tassies Tallest Trees )〕 #Coast Douglas-Fir (''Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii''): , Brummit Creek, Coos County, Oregon, United States〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Doerner Fir - Tallest Douglas Fir )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Landmark Trees Archive - Tallest Douglas Fir )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii )〕 #Sitka Spruce (''Picea sitchensis''): , Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, California, United States〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Picea sitchensis )〕 #Giant Sequoia (''Sequoiadendron giganteum''): , Sequoia National Forest, California, United States #Manna Gum (''Eucalyptus viminalis''): , "White Knight", Evercreech Forest Reserve, Tasmania, Australia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gum - Manna (''Eucalyptus viminalis'') "White Knight" )〕 #Southern Blue Gum (''Eucalyptus globulus''): , Tasmania, Australia〔name=Tasmanian Register〕 #Noble Fir (''Abies procera''): ,"Yellowjacket Giant", Goat Marsh Natural Research Area, Mount Saint Helens Volcanic Monument, Washington State, United States. #Klinki Pine(''Araucaria hunsteinii''): ,Montane rainforest of New Guinea.〔Dr Paul Richards, "Tropical Rainforests" (Cambridge Univ.
