Methods for modeling whole stem diameter growth and taper
Stem profile models which allow for both taper and form changes (Gray 1956) were constructed and evaluated. Gray defined form to be the basic shape of the tree, e.g. cone or parabolid, and taper to be the rate of narrowing in diameter given a tree form. Ormerod's stem profile model was selected...
