Tree Taper Model Volume Equations: II. Tree Taper Models for Major Commercial California Conifers

Craig M. Olson and Lee C. Wensel

Hilgardia, 1995, vol. 62, issue 3

Abstract: Equations are developed for eight conifer species to estimate the stem taper of inside-bark diameters from breast height to the tip of the tree. Separate equations are developed to estimate the diameter inside bark at the stump. Equations are fitted and tested on separate halves of a data set composed of tree taper data from previous studies, both from the forest industry and USDA Forest Service surveys. This composite data set extends from Southern California to the National Forests of southern Oregon.
