Modelling crown width-diameter relationship for Scots pine in the central Europe

Original language description

Crown width-diameter relationship, which is significantly influenced by various characteristics, was modelled using tree and stand measures, and plot-level random effect parameters. A proposed model precisely predicts crown width of Scots pine.Crown size is significantly correlated with growth and biomass of other parts of a tree, and therefore crown measures are used as predictors to develop tree growth and biomass models. We modelled crown width-diameter at breast height (DBH) allometry using data from permanent sample plots located in both monospecific and mixed species stands of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in various parts of the Czech Republic. Among various predictors evaluated, dominant height (HDOM), height-to-DBH ratio (HDR-also known as a tree slenderness coefficient), height to live crown base (HCB), relative spacing index (RS), and basal area proportion of a species of interest (BAPOR) significantly contributed to the variations in the crown width-DBH allometry. The sample plot-level
