Fitting johnson’s sB distribution to forest tree diameter

This work was supported by the FP6 EFORWOOD IP project (contract 518128) and the FCT project CarbWoodCork (POCI/AGR/57279/2004). This work was partially supported by CMA/FCT/UNL, under the project PEst-OE/MAT/UI0297/2011.The simulation of diameter distributions is an essential aid for a more efficient planning of the harvesting operations which usually represents a high percentage in costs associated with production of pulp. In this chapter Johnson’s SB probability density function has been used to model diameter distribution of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. in Portugal.authorsversionpublishe
