Abstract:Logging in the Amazon using reduced impact methods has high potential. However, one of the problems of forest management is an accurate estimation of the wood stock of a forest. Thinning equations allow for the analysis of the volume and fluctuations in diameter along the trunk of a tree, making it possible to estimate the volume, diameter, or height based on known dimensions of the trunk. Therefore, this study aimed to adjust and evaluate two thinning equations in a forest management area in the Western Amazo… Show more
