Tree slenderness coefficient (TSC) is an important measure of tree stability. Generally, trees
with higher TSC values are prone to snow, icing, and wind damage than trees with smaller …

Key message Crown width–diameter relationship, which is significantly influenced by
various characteristics, was modelled using tree and stand measures, and plot-level random …

Key message The proposed height–diameter model applicable to many tree species in the
multi-layered and mixed stands across Czech Republic shows a high accuracy in the height …

Tree height is an important trait in forest science and is highly associated with the site quality
from which the trees are measured. However, other factors, such as competition and species …

As a result of human population growth and human need for resources, the landscape has
been increasingly transformed and devastated by mining activities. Subsequent …

Height-to-diameter at breast height (DBH) ratio (HDR) is an important tree and stand stability
measure. Several factors such as stand dynamics, natural and anthropogenic disturbances …

Abstract Knowledge of pith location is needed for modelling of sawn timber and for real time
assessment of wood material in the wood working industry. However, the methods that are …

In this study, we evaluated the performance of 18 competition indices composed of nine
distance-dependent and nine distance-independent indices in explaining the variation in …

Height to crown base (HCB) of a tree is an important variable often included as a predictor in
various forest models that serve as the fundamental tools for decision-making in forestry. We …

The fine-scale spatial patterns of trees and their interactions are of paramount importance for
controlling the structure and function of forest ecosystems; however, few management …
