Marie Ontario P6A 6A3 Canada Received 5 February 2002 accepted 18 February 2003 Abstract - Stem profile equations were developed for young trembling aspen Populus tremuloides Michx. growing on 6 different sites in northern Ontario. The objective was to develop a model using stem diameter at any height to predict stem diameter at other heights and then compare the model among sites. The 262 sample trees were split into calibration 180 and validation 82 sets. Four stem profile models having from 1 to 3 parameters were tested for parameter significance for each site and then compared among sites. Data analysis was performed using bootstrap methods. One of the 4 models was not significantly different P among sites. Validation of this model produced mean prediction errors and mean relative prediction errors of less than cm and respectively standard deviations of these errors were cm and respectively. The presented method can be used to develop stem profile equations that are applicable to a broad range of growing conditions.

On a mis au point des équations de profil de tige pour des trembles Populus tremuloides Michx. se développant dans 6 stations différentes du nord de l Ontario. L objectif était de créer un modèle utilisant le diamètre pris à n importe quelle hauteur pour prédire le diamètre à d autres hauteurs et ensuite pour comparer les modèles selon les sites.
