Modeling individual tree height to diameter ratio for Norway spruce and European beech in Czech Republic

Original language description

Height to diameter ratio (HDR) is an individual tree index, also known as slenderness coefficient, and commonly used to evaluate stability of trees and stands. We developed both spatially explicit and spatially nonexplicit HDR models for Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) using a large dataset collected from fully stem-mapped permanent research plots in various parts of the Czech Republic. Various tree and stand characteristics were evaluated for their potential contributions to the the HDR models. In addition to diameter at breast height (DBH), other highly significant predictor variables identified are dominant height (HDOM) (site quality measure), dominant diameter (DDOM) and quadratic mean diameter (QMD) (spatially non-explicit competition measures), and Hegyi index (spatially explicit competition index, CI). The proposed HDR models may be applicable to assess stability of trees and stands, and to regulate stand densities.
