Abstract

Thirteen models expressing the relationship between volume and diameter at breast height, total height, and upper stem diameter at 5.3 m from ground level, were tested using a sample of 3011 trees. The results indicated that, in all cases, models using the log-log transformation and weighted models with weights of d 2 and d 2 h were much better than the untransformed and unweighted models. Untransformed and unweighted models with two or three independent variables gave values for Furnival's index of fit which were larger or almost equal to these obtained for transformed and weighted models with only one independent variable. The equation ln ( v) = −0.912+0.961ln ( d 2 h) was used to construct a double-entry table.
