Volume and taper equations for loblolly pine trees using dimensional analysis

A dimensional analysis approach was applied to derive a general volume equation for a tree. A taper equation compatible with the general volume equation was developed. Data from loblolly pine trees grown in natural stands in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and the Coastal Plain and Piedmont area...
