Abstract:Height–diameter (H–D) models are fundamental tools for predicting the relationship between tree H–D at breast height, for numerous applications in forestry. Increasingly, studies develop H–D models that can be calibrated to achieve a high level of precision with only a few observations. Different calibration methods and strategies are employed and compared in these studies, often disregarding the data used to develop the models and the H–D function used. In this study, we examined the transferability of optima… Show more
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.
