Modelling individual tree height to crown base of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
Original language description
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 developed spatially explicit and spatially inexplicit mixed-effects HCB models using measurements from a total 19,404 trees of Norway spruce(Picea abies(L.)Karst.)and European beech(Fagus sylvatica L.)on the permanent sample plots that are located across the Czech Republic. Variables describing site quality,stand density or competition, and species mixing effects were included into the HCB model with use of dominant height(HDOM,basal area of trees larger in diameters than a subject tree (BAL-spatially inexplicit measure)or Hegyis competition index(HCI-spatially explicit measure), and basal area proportion of a species of interest(BAPOR),respectively. The parameters describing sample plot-level random effects were included into the HCB model by applying the mixed-effects modelling approach. Among several functional f
