Effect of aspect, tree age and tree diameter on bark thickness of Picea orientalis (2007, methodology): “Determination of bark thickness was studied in several tree species (Feduccia & Mann, 1975; Hamilton & Chikumbo, 1997; Laasasenaho et al., 2005), and Stayton and Hoffman (1970) and Fowler and Damschroder (1988) developed an equation showing the relation between bark thickness and diameter over bark.”
Forest Growth and Yield Modeling (2011, background): “Bark thickness can also be predicted with a taper equation (Maguire andHann, 1990b; Lassasenaho et al., 2005) or with various other linear and nonlinear equations (Cao and Pepper, 1986; Johnson and Wood, 1987).”
Estimating and predicting bark thickness for seven conifer species in the Acadian Region of North America using a mixed-effects modeling approach: comparison of model forms and subsampling strategies (2011, background): “Other researchers have developed complex taper equations to describe variation of bark thickness in the stem (Maguire and Hann 1990; Laasasenaho et al. 2005).”
