Leaf area index of an old-growth Douglas-fir forest estimated from direct structural measurements in the canopy (2000, background): “However, even the most recently published LAI values for mature and old-growth Douglas-fir stands based on sapwood – leaf area allometric calculations range from 4.2 to 14.0 (Turner et al. 2000), with most of this variation attributable to the specific algorithm used.”
Crown development in Norway spruce [ Picea abies (L.) Karst.] (2004, background): “…of the organism is stable during the growing process, is empirically predicted by several allometric equations (e.g. Braekke 1986; Marklund 1987, 1988; Kershaw and Maguire 1995; Ingerslev and Hallb cken 1999; Johansson 1999; West et al. 1999; Turner et al. 2000; Grote 2002; Ilom ki et al. 2004).”
