Assessing effects of thinning on the stem form in larch during the stand initiation and stem exclusion stages using terrestrial laser scanning by Dandan Li, Dandan Li, Weiwei Jia, Weiwei Jia, Fengri Li, Fengri Li, Haotian Guo, Haotian Guo, Fan Wang, Fan Wang, Xiaoyong Zhang, Xiaoyong Zhang

“…The responses of TH and form factor at breast height to thinning were not significant, but they were age dependent. Since TLS has difficulty capturing the diameter of canopy height, the Kozak variable-exponent taper equation is more suitable for modeling stem forms, and setting age as well as thinning intensity as dummy variables is an efficient modeling method. …”
