註釋

Three equations for predicting tree height as a function of diameter (outside bark) at breast height are presented for six species found in coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest. Foresters can use these "height-diameter" equations to avoid the time-consuming task of measuring heights of all individual trees in an inventory, a stand exam, or a timber cruise. Equation coefficients were estimated with weighted nonlinear regression techniques. Because the relationship between a tree's height and diameter depends on the tree's competitive position within the stand, alternative equations, including the average height and average diameter of the 40 largest-diameter trees/ac, are also presented. These equations are used in the Stand Management Cooperative version of ORGANON.
