Abstract:The tree height–diameter at breast height (H–DBH) and crown radius–DBH (CR–DBH) relationships are key for forest carbon/biomass estimation, parameterization in vegetation models and vegetation–atmosphere interactions. Although the H–DBH relationship has been widely investigated on site or regional scales, and a small amount of studies have involved CR–DBH relationships based on plot-level data, few studies have quantitatively verified the universality of these two relationships on a global scale. Accordingly, … Show more
