Robust volumetric models for supporting the management of secondary forest stands in the Southern Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Abstract The majority of Atlantic Forest fragments in Southern Brazil are second-growth forests dominated by fast-growing species with considerable market-value timber. Nevertheless, volume prediction models are scarce, especially to estimate tree total volume (i.e., stem plus branches). This study...
