Development of a stem taper equation and modelling the effect of stand density on taper for Chinese fir plantations in Southern China
Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is the most important commercial tree species in southern China. The objective of this study was to develop a variable taper equation for Chinese fir, and to quantify the effects of stand planting density on stem taper in Chinese fir. Five equations were fitted...
