DBH - diameter at 10 cm relationship

Seedlings use the diameter at 10 cm as their primary indicator of size, and have no DBH. Saplings use both DBH and diam₁₀. The use of both measurements by saplings helps to maintain continuity between the seedling and adult life history stages. Adults use only DBH.

Parameters

Parameter name	Description
Intercept of DBH to Diameter at 10 cm Relationship	The intercept of the linear relationsip between the DBH, in cm, and the diameter at 10 cm height, in cm, in small trees. Used by all species.
Slope of DBH to Diameter at 10 cm Relationship	The slope of the linear relationship between the DBH, in cm, and the diameter at 10 cm height, in cm, in small trees. Used by all species.

DBH and diam₁₀ are related as follows:

DBH = (diam₁₀ * R) + I

where

DBH is the DBH in cm
diam₁₀ is the diameter at 10 cm height, in cm
R is the Slope of DBH to Diameter at 10 cm Relationship parameter
I is the Intercept of DBH to Diameter at 10 cm Relationship parameter
