Variable-Exponent Taper Equation Based on Multilevel Nonlinear Mixed Effect for Chinese Fir in China

A variable-exponent taper equation was developed for Chinese fir (<i>Cunninghamia lanceolate</i> (Lamb.) Hook.) trees grown in southern China. Thirty taper equations from different groups of models (single, segmented, or variable-exponent taper equation) were compared to find the excelle...
