Table 5 Parameter estimates for sub-model 1. The model predicts breast height wood density in ring 30 from pith (D30) from mean annual temperature (MAT) and soil C/(N − 0.014), and was fitted to Douglas-fir data from 32 sites throughout New Zealand. The model R2 = 0.83 and root mean square error = 19.7 kg m−3
