The tree height estimated by non-power models on volumetric models provides reliable predictions of wood volume: The Amazon species height modelling issue

Trees, Forests and People, 2020
Allometries that include height as independent variable usually provide greater accuracy on estimates of volume, biomass or individual carbon than other prediction strategies that rely only diameter at breast height as independent variable. However, when
