“…The trees were distributed between the ages of 3.4 to 21.4 years, with 22, 35, 19, 13, 8, and 3% in classes 3 ˫ 6, 6 ˫ 9, 9 ˫ 12, 12 ˫ 15, 15 ˫ 18, ≥ 18 years of age, respectively. For this study, three site classes were established (class I: 30.5 m; class II: 25.5 m; and class III: 20.5 m) using the guide curve method, the Chapman-Richards model, and an indexage of 18 years, through the equation dynamics of the stand. For the chosen trees, the transversal area for each stem was calculated and subsequently added, resulting in the diameter equivalent to this transversal area (Dombroski & Pinto, 2019). In these cases, the total height corresponding to the highest stem was used.…”
