Evaluation of stochastic differential equations approach for predicting individual tree taper and volume

Proceedings of the World Congress on Engineering, WCE 2012, July 4 - 6, 2012, London, U.KAn approach combining information generating from different stochastic differential equations are recognized for improving predictive quality of stem profile (taper). The stochastic differential equations stem taper models were fitted to a data set of Scots pine trees collected across the entire Lithuanian territory. Comparison of the predicted stem taper and stem volume with those obtained using regression based models showed a predictive power to the stochastic differential equations modelsVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŽemės ūkio akademij
