The linear diameter-height relationship is the same for all life history stages, but each stage can use a different set of parameter values.
| Parameter name | Description |
|---|---|
| Maximum Tree Height, in meters | The maximum tree height for a species, in meters. No tree, no matter what allometric function it uses, is allowed to get taller than this. Used by all species. |
| Adult Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the adult linear function for DBH and height. |
| Adult Linear Function Slope | The slope of the adult linear function for DBH and height. |
| Sapling Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the sapling linear function for DBH and height. |
| Sapling Linear Function Slope | The intercept of the sapling linear function for DBH and height. |
| Seedling Linear Function Intercept | The intercept of the seedling linear function for DBH and height. |
| Seedling Linear Function Slope | The slope of the seedling linear function for DBH and height. |
The linear diam - height function is:
