Models estimating tree volume from stump diameter are important forest-management tools when volume estimation is needed postharvest, and dbh values are unavailable, for example the incidence of timber trespass. However, the use of stump diameter as the only independent variable for predicting tree volume has been limited. Therefore, in this article, stump diameter was used to estimate stem volume of Tectona grandis Linn. f, and this was compared with volume estimated from diameter at breast height. Five functions were considered each for the two stem diameters: simple linear, semilogarithmic, zero-intercept, power, and growth. Model assessment was based on least values of the root mean square error and Akaike information criterion. The results showed that the growth model had the best overall performance for both sets of volume models. A paired-sample t-test was used to compare volume estimated by stump diameter and volume estimated by diameter at breast height at 5 percent significance level. The results showed that there were no significant differences (P = .087) between timber volumes estimated from both stem diameters. Therefore, both diameters can be used interchangeably for modeling tree volume.
