Tree growth inference and prediction when the point of measurement changes: modelling around buttresses in tropical forests

Estimation of tree growth is generally based on repeated diameter measurements. A buttress at the height of measurement will lead to overestimates of tree diameter. Because buttresses grow up the trunk through time, it has become common practice to increase the height of measurement, to ensure that...
