LI, the function for the inflection points, is the dashed line in figure ID, and 

 represents the inflection points adopted and plotted for each overlay curve. LI re- 

 flects the width-of-curve-crown trend noted under Lsig and in the text.

Rsig, RI, and Rn were obtained in a similar fashion. The Year transform again wa 

 5-|Yr-XP| and ranged in value from 5.0 at XP to zero at XP + 5. The right-side cross- 

 sections were fairly well matched by Standards with n = 2, so Rn = 2. RI showed the 

 same general widening of curve crown at d.b.h. = 14 inches.
