Popis: Height–diameter relationships based on stand characteristics (stand density, basal area and site index) were investigated for jack pine and black spruce trees using the data from permanent growth study plots in northern Ontario, Canada. Approximately half of the data was used to estimate model parameters and the rest was used for model evaluation. Multiple Chapman–Richards growth functions with parameters expressed in terms of various stand characteristics were fitted to determine the best models for predicting height. Models providing the most accurate predictors of height included basal area, trees ha−1 and diameter at breast height. The inclusion of site index did not increase predictive accuracy.
