Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, methodology): “It is important to note that, although LCWequations predict a mean value, crownwidths often are highly eccentric because of differences in local competition (e.g. Brisson, 2001).”
Local Models for Forest Canopy Cover with Beta Regression (2007, methodology): “In other cases particular overlap correction functions that have been created for this purpose must be used (Crookston and Stage 1999, Gill et al. 2000, Shaw 2005).”
Forest canopy cover and canopy closure: comparison of assessment techniques (2009, unknown): “The forest canopy, tautly deWned as the aggregate of all crowns in a forest stand, is an important indicator used as a measure of stand density (Gill et al. 2000) and for predicting woody plant composition, leaf area index (LAI) or vegetation area index—Fassnacht et al.”
Competition and tree crowns: a neighborhood analysis of three boreal tree species. (2010, background): “However, many previous studies have modelled tree crowns as simple functions of diameter or height (e.g., O’Brien et al., 1995; Pacala et al., 1996; Gill et al., 2000; Grote, 2003).”
Generalized height-diameter and crown diameter prediction models for cork oak forests in Spain (2007, background): “…of crown surface area and volume in order to asses forest health (Zarnoch et al., 2004), tree-crown profiles and canopy architecture (Hann, 1999; Marshall et al., 2003), forest canopy cover (Gill et al., 2000) and the arrangement of trees in forest visualization programs (Hanus and Hann, 1998).”
Tree mortality patterns following prescribed fires in a mixed conifer forest (2006, methodology): “Canopy cover was measured at 25 points on each 0.04 ha plot using a 5 m by 5 m grid using a GRS densitometer (Geographic Resource Solutions™, Arcata, California) (Gill et al. 2000).”
The single tree-based stand simulator SILVA: construction, application and evaluation (2002, background): “Gill et al., 2000 ), especially in uneven aged mixed forests.”
The contribution of structural indices to the modelling of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and birch (Betula spp.) crowns (2008, methodology): “Many existing crown models could be used as the basis for further tests (e.g. Gill et al., 2000; Pretzsch et al., 2002).”
