Comparison and Combination of Mobile and Terrestrial Laser Scanning for Natural Forest Inventories (2018, methodology): “In contrast to common allometric equations [59], which mainly use height and DBH, QSMs can deliver a much more accurate estimate of wood volume.”
Allometric equations for estimating tree aboveground biomass in evergreen broadleaf forests of Viet Nam (2016, methodology): “The models were fit based on the maximum likelihood procedure in R statistical software using the nlme package (Picard et al., 2012; Pinheiro et al., 2014) and model diagnostics were conducted using the ggplot2 package (Wickham and Chang, 2013).”
Models for estimation of tree volume in the miombo woodlands of Tanzania (2014, methodology): “The iteration started with an initial value of that was obtained using the method described by Picard et al. (2012).”
Non Destructive Method for Biomass Prediction Combining TLS Derived Tree Volume and Wood Density (2015, methodology): “Additionally, power functions, known as allometric models, use these parameters as predictor variables to estimate the biomass of trees [2].”
