Özet
Accurate predictions of tree diameter distributions are important for assessing forest structure, quantifying biodiversity, and estimating carbon sequestration. Percentile-based approaches are among the most effective methods for reconstructing diameter distributions from stand-level variables. In this study, we compared three modelling approaches, generalised least squares (GLS), Multi-Output Random Forest (MORF), and a multi-output deep learning-based model (MODL), across nine datasets representing different forest types and management regimes, aiming to predict simultaneously six diameter distribution percentiles. Our results show that MODL consistently outperformed both GLS and MORF in predictive accuracy across all nine training subsets and five out of nine test subsets, demonstrating strong generalisation across diverse forest types. MODL was particularly effective in achieving high accuracy while …
