Compatible Stem Volume and Stem Diameter Equations for Brutian Pine Stands in Antalya-Gebiz Region

Tree Volume and Upper-stem Diameter Predictions for Planted Loblolly and Slash Pine Based on a Compatible Volume-Taper System with Segmented-stem Form Factors

on the equivalence of constructed-response and multiple-choice : stem-equivalent, stem non-equivalent but content equivalent, and stem and content non-equivalent items in reading comprehension using multifaceted rasch

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...

Aboveground Biomass Equations for Small Trees of Brutian Pine in Turkey to Facilitate Harvesting and Management

Brutian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) is the most widespread conifer species in the Eastern Mediterranean. Aboveground biomass equations for small diameter brutian pine trees are needed for accurate fuel inventory and to assess carbon sequestration potential. In this study, we developed tree biomass models based on 143 brutian pine saplings measured in 11 research plots. Aboveground biomass (AGB) wa...

Individual Tree Diameter, Height, and Volume Functions for Longleaf Pine

Currently, little information is available to estimate individual tree attributes for longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.), an important tree species of the southeastern United States. The majority of available models are local, relying on stem diameter outside bark at breast height (dbh, cm) and not including stand-level parameters. We developed a set of individual tree equations to predict t...

Improving the Accuracy of Predicted Basal-Area Diameter Distribution in Advanced Stands by Determining Stem Number

The objective of this paper was to study to what extent the accuracy of predicted basalarea diameter distributions (DDG) could be improved by means of stem number observations in advanced (H > 10 m) stands. In the Finnish forest management planning (FMP) inventory practice, stem number is determined only in young stands; in older stands stand basal area is used. The study material consisted of ...
