摘要: Attempts were made to evaluate intrinsic biological units of growth teak trees, which identified as age and size at inflection point diameter breast height. The observations further utilized in estimating fractal dimension the tree crown, is an important eco-physiological characteristic species. A total 38 plantations belonging different groups site quality classes selected for units. Altogether, 57 stumps gathering information on stump level (10 cm above ground) from plantations. Photographs upper surface taken using a digital camera. Counting annual rings/ring recording radial distance pith each rings done directly (visually) by Photoshop CorelDRAW software computer. Thus estimated. values height estimated allometric relations. present study revealed that these viz., (namely) (diameter) 6 years level, respectively. corresponding breast-height 8 10.6 including bark. Fractal was calculated based parameters, through analysis. worked out 2.13 value obtained biologically justifiable considering light demanding nature
