New Growth Model Revolutionizes Chinese Fir Plantation Management in Fujian.
Researchers developed a model to predict the height growth of Chinese fir trees in a forest plantation. They used field data to create curves showing the relationship between tree diameter, height, and cumulative tree number. By analyzing the data, they found specific parameters that accurately represent the growth pattern of Chinese fir trees. This model can help improve forest survey methods and guide better management of forest resources.
