(dominant) leader Explanation: Dominant leader: The trunk that grows up through the center of the tree and obviously dominates the rest of the branches. A dominant leader originates from a single dominant trunk and is the topmost part of a tree. http://www.marshalltrees.com/upload/file_mgr/22_55file.pdf |

top log Explanation: My Dictionary of Wood Science and Technology (Mühle) offers "top log" and "crown" for Zopf. The presence of compression wood was much more common in the top log timber (75%) than in the butt log (44%). http://www.mendeley.com/research/quality-timber-products-nor... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2012-04-18 14:22:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Integrating a process-based growth model for Scots pine into economic optimization, Hyytiäinen et al. (2004) reported economic optimization results for timber production using timber grade prices (top log, middle log, butt log, and pulpwood). Their bucking system has also been applied to optimizing stand establishment based on the same process model (Hyytiäinent et al. 2006). http://www.metla.fi/dissertationes/df103.pdf |

| Reference: Zopf Reference information: http://thwiki.org/t=Zopfende_(Holz) Das Zopfende beziehungsweise der Zopf eines Stammes, Rundholzes und so weiter, ist das Ende, welches in die Baumkrone mündete, bevor der Baum gefällt wurde. i.e. top end -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2012-04-18 08:34:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Definitely not crown, as this includes the branches and leaves. |
