Slenderness coefficient of five major tree species in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran

Slenderness coefficient of trees, defined as the ratio of total height to diameter at breast  height (DBH), is frequently used as resistance index of trees to wind throw. By measuring DBH and total height of 1379 trees, the relationships between slenderness coefficients and trees DBH were investigat...
