Predicting crown width using nonlinear mixed-effects models accounting for competition in multi-species secondary forests
Crown width (CW) is an important tree variable and is often used as a covariate predictor in forest growth models. The precise measurement and prediction of CW is therefore critical for forest management. In this study, we introduced tree species as a random effect to develop nonlinear mixed-effects...
