Tilia's physical dimensions over time

Tree height, trunk height, trunk diameter, crown base, and crown radius were measured on 331 trees growing in urban environments (Tilia cordata, T. europaea, T. euclora, and T. platyphyllos). Regression analyses revealed quadratic correlation between age and size for relationships.... The results can be used for forecasting Tilias physical dimensions as functions of time and environment and with it for planning and assessing the consequences of Tilia tree-planting schemes in urban environments.

"Tree height, trunk height, trunk diameter, crown base, and crown radius were measured on 331 trees growing in urban environments (Tilia cordata, T. europaea, T. euclora, and T. platyphyllos). Regression analyses revealed quadratic correlation between age and size for all relationships. Growth formulas and growth rates were derived and growth curves compiled. The results can be used for forecasting Tilia’s physical dimensions as functions of time and environment and with it for planning and assessing the consequences of Tilia tree-planting schemes in urban environments. When implemented as a computer-aided design (CAD) application, these relationships can form the basis for dynamic illustration

of a project. [Abstract]
