Predicting height to live crown increment for thinned and unthinned loblolly pine plantations
Several nonlinear, individual tree crown height increment equations were tested for their ability to predict annual crown height increment in loblolly pine plantations. The selected model contained tree height (HT), tree crown ratio (CR) raised to the one-half power, age (A), and a competition …

Estimating forest attributes using laser scanning data and dual-band, single-pass interferometric aperture radar to improve forest management
The overall objectives of this dissertation were to (1) determine whether leaf area index (LAI) (Chapter 2), as well as stem density and height to live crown (Chapter 3) can be estimated accurately in intensively managed pine plantations using small-footprint, multiple-return airborne laser scanner …
