Stem taper equations, which predict the change in stem form from ground to tip, have
become the primary means for estimating bole volume. Stem taper equations can provide …

Tree biomass is typically estimated using statistical models. This review highlights five
limitations of most tree biomass models, which include the following:(1) biomass data are …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

This paper reports on a study of measuring stem curves of standing trees of different species
and in different growth stages using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Pine and spruce trees …

Climate-smart forestry is a sustainable forest management approach for increasing positive
climate impacts on society. As climate-smart forestry is focusing on more sustainable …

National forest inventories typically estimate individual tree volumes using models that rely
on measurements of predictor variables such as tree height and diameter, both of which are …

Background The data on carbon pool and biomass distribution pattern of old-growth Pinus
kesiya Royle ex. Gordon forests are not available.• Methods The forest carbon pool and …

Forest tree ingrowth is a highly variable and largely stochastic process. Consequently,
predicting occurrence, frequency, and composition of ingrowth is a challenging task but of …

To operate autonomously in forested terrain, unmanned ground vehicles must be able to
identify the load‐bearing surface of the terrain (ie, the ground) and obstacles in the …

Taper functions are important tools for forest description, modelling, assessment, and
management. A large number of studies have been conducted to develop and improve taper …
