An Improved Weise’s Rule for Efficient Estimation of Stand Quadratic Mean Diameter

An Improved Weise’s Rule for Efficient Estimation of Stand Quadratic Mean Diameter

The main objective of this study was to explore the accuracy of Weise’s rule of thumb applied to an estimation of the quadratic mean diameter of a forest stand. Virtual stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) across a range of structure types were stochastically generated and random sampling w...
