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...
متن کاملHeight-diameter Relationships in Longleaf Pine and Four Swamp Tree Species
The scaling relationship between height and diameter is important for understanding the dynamic patterns of tree growth and estimating the accrual of tree biomass. Metabolic ecology predicts that tree growth follows a universal scaling invariant relative to the height-diameter relationship (i.e., no variation based on taxonomy or resource availability). Comparing field data for different tree s...
متن کاملImputation of Individual Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) Tree Attributes from Field and LiDAR Data
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has demonstrated potential for forest inventory at the individual-tree level. The aim in this study was to predict individual-tree height (Ht; m), basal area (BA; m2), and stem volume (V; m3) attributes, imputing Random Forest k-nearest neighbor (RF k-NN) and individual-tree-level-based metrics extracted from a LiDAR-derived canopy height model (CHM) in a lon...
متن کاملA predictive nondestructive model for the covariation of tree height, diameter, and stem volume scaling relationships
Metabolic scaling theory (MST) posits that the scaling exponents among plant height H, diameter D, and biomass M will covary across phyletically diverse species. However, the relationships between scaling exponents and normalization constants remain unclear. Therefore, we developed a predictive model for the covariation of H, D, and stem volume V scaling relationships and used data from Chinese...
متن کاملThe Longleaf Pine Ecosystem
INTRODUCTION Of the southern pines, many consider longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) the most valuable in terms of wood-product quality, aesthetics, and resistance to fire, insects, and disease. Longleaf pine ecosystems once occupied more than 90 million acres of the Lower Coastal Plain of the Southeastern United States from southern Virginia to central Florida and west to eastern Texas (Fro...
