This study developed species-specific regression models to estimate the over-bark stem volume of Quercus serrata and Pinus kesiya, based on the measurements from 108 trees per species across 29 sites. Diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, and sectional diameters were obtained using a Nikon Rangefinder and Criterion\u2122 RD 1000 dendrometer. Smalian\u2019s method was used to calculate the stem volume. Models using DBH alone and in combination with height were evaluated via model efficiency (EF), root mean square error (RMSE), and Akaike\u2019s information criterion (AIC). For Q. serrata, the best models were an inverse quadratic (DBH only) and a third-degree polynomial (DBH and height). For P. kesiya, the best fits were logarithmic and quadratic, respectively. QQ plots confirmed the fit after logarithmic transformation. Residuals were normally distributed, and high EF confirmed model accuracy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5255],"tags":[5324,5320,5323,5322,5321],"release_year":[],"ppma_author":[5315,5316,5317,5318,5319],"class_list":["post-5721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wood-research-volume-70-number-3-2025","tag-manipur","tag-pinus-kesiya","tag-quercus-serrata","tag-regression-model","tag-volume-prediction"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Maro\u0161 Kov\u00e1\u010d","author_link":"https:\/\/www.woodresearch.sk\/cms\/author\/kovacvupc-sk\/"},"authors":[{"term_id":5315,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"krishna-giri","display_name":"KRISHNA GIRI","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""},{"term_id":5316,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"girish-chandra","display_name":"GIRISH CHANDRA","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""},{"term_id":5317,"user_id":0,"is_guest":1,"slug":"r-s-c-jayaraj","display_name":"R.S.C.
