Ratio estimation to improve estimates of top height from suboptimal samples in forest inventory plots in Québec

Abstract: Top height is one of the most useful variables provided by sample plot measurements conducted during forest inventory programs. Combined with tree age, it allows the determination of site index, a common measure of forest site productivity. Unfortunately, there are cases where the number of site trees is suboptimal; this potential problem can lead to imprecise estimates of top height and site index. We approached this problem using ratio estimation techniques and incomplete data sets from forest inventory plot… Show more
