Synopsis

How to improve merchantable wood estimates with stem profile models

This book explains how stem profile models can be used to predict merchantable volume more reliably. It compares different modeling approaches and discusses when biases can occur and how to reduce them. The focus is on Oregon and Washington forests, with attention to practical scaling rules and real-world data.

  • How second-stage models can reduce bias in diameter and volume predictions.
  • How regional and second-stage approaches stack up against established methods.
  • What to consider when applying these models to different forest populations and standards.
  • Practical guidance for using stem profile models with common scaling algorithms.
Ideal for foresters, researchers, and students who work with timber volume estimates and need reachable guidance for applying stem profile models.
