Effects of Measurement Error in Total Tree Height and Upper-Stem Diameter on Stem Volume Prediction

on the equivalence of constructed-response and multiple-choice : stem-equivalent, stem non-equivalent but content equivalent, and stem and content non-equivalent items in reading comprehension using multifaceted rasch

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...

A predictive nondestructive model for the covariation of tree height, diameter, and stem volume scaling relationships

Metabolic scaling theory (MST) posits that the scaling exponents among plant height H, diameter D, and biomass M will covary across phyletically diverse species. However, the relationships between scaling exponents and normalization constants remain unclear. Therefore, we developed a predictive model for the covariation of H, D, and stem volume V scaling relationships and used data from Chinese...

Tree Volume and Upper-stem Diameter Predictions for Planted Loblolly and Slash Pine Based on a Compatible Volume-Taper System with Segmented-stem Form Factors

Individual Tree Diameter, Height, and Volume Functions for Longleaf Pine

Currently, little information is available to estimate individual tree attributes for longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.), an important tree species of the southeastern United States. The majority of available models are local, relying on stem diameter outside bark at breast height (dbh, cm) and not including stand-level parameters. We developed a set of individual tree equations to predict t...
