Three to five dominant trees from each of 445 ten-factor variable radius inventory points were utilized to evaluate the height- diameter relationships of 13 species or genera found on bottomland hardwood sites throughout east Texas. Regression analysis was performed using the linear model such that height = (30 + (31 x (d.b.h.). The species were placed into six groups: (1) pines (Pinus taeda and P. enchinata) ; (2) water oak/willow oak/white oak/swamp chestnut oak (Quercus nigra)/(Q. phe//os)/(Q. alba)/(Q. michauxi1) ; (3) blackgum/laurel oak/overcup oak (Nyssa sylvatica)/(Q. laurifolia)/(Q. lyrata); (4) ash/maple (Fraxinus spp.)/(Acerspp.); (5) hickories (Carya spp.), and (6) elms (Ulmus …
