Background: Individual tree taper and volume equations are essential for forest
management. They provide estimates of volume that are incorporated into plot level volume …

A key process in forest management planning is the estimation of tree volume and, more
specifically, merchantable volume. The ability to predict the cumulative stem volume relative …

Variation of the bark depends on tree age, origin, geographic location, or site conditions like
temperature and water availability. Most of these variables are characterized by very high …

Tree crown biomass is rarely assessed individually in forest monitoring, but when it is to be
reported, standard conversion factors are commonly used for predicting crown biomass as a …

Stem taper equations are crucial for forest management allowing to reliably estimate
merchantable wood volume. Their main benefit is the ability to predict stem diameters at a …

Crown, with many dimensions greatly influences the stem taper of a tree. However, few taper
models have accounted for its impact on diameter estimation. In order to investigate and …

This paper introduces a novel method for accurately calculating the upper biomass of single
trees using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point cloud data. The proposed algorithm …

Accurate estimations of a tree stem's heartwood diameter (HD), sapwood width (SW), bark
thickness (BT) and diameter outside bark (DOB) are essential for volume and biomass …

Current techniques of forest inventory rely on manual measurements and are slow and labor
intensive. Recent developments in computer vision and depth sensing can produce …
