Title: Accounting for Spatial Autocorrelation in Loblolly Pine Stands Using a Simultaneous Autoregressive Model

Abstract:

A simultaneous autoregressive model will be employed to account for the spatial autocorrelation in loblolly pine stands. Measurements of annual diameter growth will be used as the vehicle through which tree interdependence is expressed. The ability to explicitly characterize the spatial relationships between loblolly pine trees will allow for more accurate representation of stand conditions (current and projected). This research will expound on current knowledge of spatial trends in loblolly pine forest stands by determining the spatial structure of stands using incremental diameter growth measurements.
