The linear diameter-height relationship is the same for all life history stages, but each stage can use a different set of parameter values.
Parameter name | Description |
---|---|
Maximum Tree Height, in meters | The maximum tree height for a species, in meters. No tree, no matter what allometric function it uses, is allowed to get taller than this. Used by all species. |
Adult Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the adult linear function for DBH and height. |
Adult Linear Function Slope | The slope of the adult linear function for DBH and height. |
Sapling Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the sapling linear function for DBH and height. |
Sapling Linear Function Slope | The intercept of the sapling linear function for DBH and height. |
Seedling Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the seedling linear function for DBH and height. |
Seedling Linear Function Slope | The slope of the seedling linear function for DBH and height. |
The linear diam - height function is:
