Abstract:

A material of 615 observations was used to develop Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) stand volume functions for eastern, central and northern Norway. A multiplicative model with three independent variables was found to be most suitable. The independent variables were stand basal area, Lorey"s mean height, and site index. The R² value was 0.993 and the coefficient of variation 5.43%. Testing by means of two independent data sets indicated that the function is suitable for practical prediction purposes for different site qualities and in different geographical regions of the country.
