Abstract
This study continues the research in a 100-year-old black pine forest, consisting of stands with different structures. A sample was selected, consisting of six sampling plots (30 subsampling plots) with 508 trees for which the diameter (d), the height (h), and the crown diameter (cw) were measured. Models were generated at sample level (general models), as well as at stand level, based on the cw measured in the field. The general models estimated the sample volume at a relative RMSE (RMSE %) of 20.1% and those adapted to the stand structure at an RMSE of 2.8%. At the level of the sampling plots, the general models underestimated the volume of the higher productivity stands by 24% and overestimated the volume of the lower productivity stands by 27%.
