Abstract
Bark thickness was found to correlate with diameter at breast height, tree height, tree age and stem tapering. Climatic zone also clearly affected the amount of bark. By combining the models derived in this study with existing stem curve models, it is possible to accurately calculate stem volume both under and over bark for any arbitrary portion of the stem.
