Stem taper models for maritime pine plantations in Istanbul Sarıyer Region
Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is one of the most important tree species in Turkey for establish industrial plantations. In this study, stem taper models were developed for maritime pine plantations in İstanbul-Sarıyer region. For this aim, two commonly used and well-known taper models belongin...

In this frame, totally 194 destructively sampled trees were used. The equations were fitted with ordinary nonlinear least squares method. We incorporated a second-order continuous-time autoregressive error structure (CAR(2)) to address of autocorrelation problem and used condition numbers to detect presence of multicollinearity.
