Integrating climate, soil and stand structure into allometric models: An approach of site-effects on tree allometry in Atlantic Forest

Tree allometric models are generally developed at local scales and thus potentially biased when used for different locations and at broader spatial scales. Because allometric relationships vary with forest structure, climatic conditions and edaphic properties, one potential way to address this issue...
