Form Quotients and Stem Form of Eucalyptus cloeziana

Abstract

This paper deals with a stem form study in Eucalyptus cloeziana. Sample tree data obtained from the ICFR were used to obtain the diameter at different relative positions along the stem. These diameters were subsequently regressed on breast height diameter and tree height. Fourth degree polynomials are recommended to estimate the u.b. diameter at i % of the height, for trees with a given breast height diameter and total height, although linear interpolation does not induce substantial inaccuracy.
