RESUMO
ABSTRACT Tree height-diameter (H-D) relationships are important for routine forest assessment. Several H-D relationships have been developed for different species and more are still evolving. This study introduces new H-D model developed for Pinus pinaster and Pinus radiata in Spain, based on data from 184 and 96 permanent sample plots, respectively, collected in the northwest region of the country. Nonlinear mixed-effect modelling technique was used to fit the generalized H-D model. The mixed-effect H-D model was calibrated using the random effects predicted from one to three randomly selected trees per sample plot. Different indices including root mean square error (RMSE) and adjusted coefficient of determination () were used to assess the predictive performance of the model. The results showed that the new model had and RMSE of 0.906 and 1.156 m and 0.814 and 1.703 m for P. pinaster and P. radiata, respectively. The calibration response involved the selection of one tree per sample plot and resulted in a reduction of RMSE by 6.5% and 13.5% for pinaster and P. radiata, respectively.
