Environmental Influences on Tree and Stand Increment : Mensuration, Growth and Yield Instruments and Methods in Forest Mensuration : Proceedings : Environmental Influences on Tree and Stand Increment ; (691), S. 57-63

Multiple liner regression models using data from 96 plotsshow eccentricity, bark ratio and wandering pith to be related to a number of environmental factos. In contrast bark thickness is relatively independent of site conditions. Although considerable refinement can be made using additional environmental measurements, the R2's were too low (30%-44%) to warrant inclusionin simulation models.
