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

“…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. Overall, TLSs can be used for measuring long-term tree responses after intervention to efficiently support nondestructive forest inventories and management.…”
