Evaluation of regression methods and competition indices in characterizing height-diameter relationships for temperate and pantropical tree species

Height-diameter relationship models, denoted as H-D models, have important applications in sustainable forest management which include studying the vertical structure of a forest stand, understanding the habitat heterogeneity for wildlife niches, analyzing the growth rate pattern for making decision...
