Abstract
Three to five dominant trees from each of 445 ten-factor variable radius inventory points were utilized to evaluate the height- diameter relationships of 13 species or genera found on bottomland hardwood sites throughout east Texas. Regression analysis was performed using the linear model such that height = (30 + (31 x (d.b.h.). The species were placed into six groups: (1) pines (Pinus taeda and P. enchinata) ; (2) water oak/willow oak/white oak/swamp chestnut oak (Quercus nigra)/(Q. phe//os)/(Q. alba)/(Q. michauxi1) ; (3) blackgum/laurel oak/overcup oak (Nyssa sylvatica)/(Q. laurifolia)/(Q. lyrata); (4) ash/maple (Fraxinus spp.)/(Acerspp.); (5) hickories (Carya spp.), and (6) elms (Ulmus spp.), or were analyzed as individual species: (7) cherrybark oak (Q. pagoda) and (8) sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) based on similar intercepts and slopes of the regression lines. The coefficients of the model were estimated and residual analysis conducted for each species group.
