- Method / resource Diameter at breast height and tree age were most appropriate for estimating foliage biomass of predominant and dominant Scots pine trees.
- Method / resource For co-dominant Scots pine trees, the model additionally needed tree height and crown length.
- Association Needle weight and weight of needles with young twigs had a practically linear relationship.
