Comparison of model forms for estimating stem taper and volume in the primary conifer species of the North American Acadian Region
Problem Addressed: Develop stem taper equations for balsam fir, red spruce, and white pine in the Acadian Region
Goal(s)/Objective(s): Use mixed-effects to assess the amount of within- and between-tree variation in stem profiles; evaluate ten stem taper profile models; and assess the level of improvement.
Key Findings: Selecting the best regional taper equation is difficult as it depends on species, dataset, and intended use.
