Regarding the regional division of the models:

Freely translated from Söderberg 1986 p. 29: 'The regional division is motivated in the following. For Pine the country has been divided into 3 regions (see figure 4.1), which are based on the different forms of Scots Pine which have been distinguished by Sylvén 1917. The distribution of the different forms of Scots Pine is assumed to depend on the expansion-history of the Pine, according to which the Pine immigrated both from the north and the south with a transitional zone in central Sweden, where both forms are present. For other species, the change in genotype is more continuous over the country (Kiellander 1974). For Norway Spruce, it is assumed that it has had time for 30-50 generations in northern Sweden, contrasted against only 10-20 in southern Sweden (Kiellander 1966). Therefore the same regional division is used for Norway Spruce as for Scots Pine. For the other species, the regional division is limited to two regions, wherein the northern and central regions have been merged.

NB in Söderberg (1986), no correction for logarithmic bias was introduced , as, (freely translated) p. 114: "At the presentation of the functions we lightly touched on the effects of the measurement errors in the variables which had been included in the regression. It was then concluded that several factors contrived to that the spread about the functions is overestimated. Therefore no correction for logarithmic bias was carried out, primarily because the effect of the errors in the indipendent variables on the spread about the function are difficult to establish. If one were to assume that the spread about the function was overestimated by 10 percent, the predicted growth from the functions would be increased by roughly 2 percent. For 20 percents overestimation, an increase of predicted growth by 4.5 percent."
