Comparison of three stem profile equations for Quercus robur L.
1996
Trincado, G. | Tewari, V. P.
This journal article gives an overview of stem profile equations developed for Quercus robur using height up to the crown base in lieu of total height. Diameter at the crown base is zero which provides compartibility with stem profile equation while maintaining tree stem profile. three different taper functions were fitted to the transformed data and compared in respect of their ability predict upper stem diameters volumes and heights at different points along the stem. Equations derived from the taper functions modified for the height up to the crown base are also given in the appendix to predict height at a specific diameter and volume between two specified heights.
