Abstract:Pipe model theory has the potential to be widely applied in the estimation of tree allometry parameters, although it remains uncertain whether it can provide accurate estimation of the crown biomass of plantation forest. In this study, an improved pipe model was used for the first time to estimate the crown biomass of Larix olgensis plantations in northeast China. The results of linear regression analysis showed that crown biomass could be accurately estimated from the stem area at the crown base, which could … Show more
