Using Functional Traits to Improve Estimates of Height–Diameter Allometry in a Temperate Mixed Forest

Accurate estimates of tree height (H) are critical for forest productivity and carbon stock assessments. Based on an extensive dataset, we developed a set of generalized mixed-effects height–DBH (H–D) models in a typical natural mixed forest in Northeastern China, adding species functional traits to...
