We report on a stem analysis plotting program (SAPP) specifically designed for automated tree ring measurement and computer graphic facilities. Growth patterns of individual trees are reconstructed using annual ring widths measured at length intervals along the bole. The program generates detailed charts showing radial ring sequences; growth layer profiles; annual height increment/age, height/age, height/dbh, volume/age and specific volume/age relationships; and MAI and CAI volume development to facilitate graphical comparisons of tree growth performance. Keywords: computer graphics, automated ring measurement, tree growth measurement, site evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
