DBH. We will have high-“n” regressions for estimating crown width from DBH for American elm, Norway maple, and European linden. I know already, though, that the relationships are not tight, so even with high “n”, there will be considerable uncertainty in
estimates. We can share these regressions only in September or October, when data collection has finished.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
