Abstract

The growth behaviour of three tree species viz. Neem, Shisham and Siris in Marathwada region of Maharastra has been statistically analyzed. Seven years data records pertaining to height and collar diameter of these species have been used for the purpose. It has been found that Siris gives maximum yield in terms of volume of its stem. Non-linear modeling techniques have been used to predict the volume of stem of these species.  Collar diameter is first predicted thought a non linear model, then height of the tree is predicated using the predicted collar diameter. Finally, volume of the trunk of trees has been predicated using the predicted values of height and collar diameter.
