Abstract :
We present a model using back-forward feed propagation method for tree diameter distribution in stand based on artificial neural network with three-tier management. This model is able to describe dynamics of diameter distribution in stands with high precision and good correlation. We also demonstrate that an ANN model from it has superiority in regression due to its ability to overcome some difficulties in processing data from traditional ways.
