Variation in tree stem form depends on species, age, site conditions, etc. Stem taper models that estimate stem diameter at any height and volume should comply with this complexity. In the paper, we propose new methods taking into account both unbias...
The estimation of tree biomass and the products that can be obtained from a tree stem have focused forest research for more than two centuries. Traditionally, measurements of the entire tree bole were expensive or inaccurate, even when sophisticated...
This study examines the performance of 11 tree taper models to predict the diameter of bark at any given height and the total stem volume of eight dominant tree species in the boreal forests of Lithuania. Here, we develop eight new models using stoch...
