Sound forest management planning requires cost-efficient approaches to optimally utilize given resources. Emphasizing the mathematical and statistical features of forest sampling to assess classical dendrometrical quantities, Sampling Techniques f...Lasīt vairāk
Fisheries science is an applied field. A biologist working on a depleted population might need to forecast the population trajectory or examine which factors are limiting recovery. For an exploited population, a biologist might investigate whether t...Lasīt vairāk

This book shows how to use sampling procedures for ecological and environmental studies. It incorporates both traditional sampling methods and recent developments in environmental and ecological sampling methods, including mark-recapture, adaptive...Lasīt vairāk
Modern ecological and environmental sciences are dominated by observational data. As a result, traditional statistical training often leaves scientists ill-prepared for the data analysis tasks they encounter in their work. Bayesian methods provide...Lasīt vairāk
Many applied researchers equate spatial statistics with prediction or mapping, but this book naturally extends linear models, which includes regression and ANOVA as pillars of applied statistics, to achieve a more comprehensive treatment of the anal...Lasīt vairāk
Ecological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancin...Lasīt vairāk
This book provides a roadmap for city-specific environmental health studies based on ambient air quality and measures of public health. Chapter one highlights the benefits of city-specific understanding toward the main goal of improving human heal...Lasīt vairāk
Evaluating Climate Change Impacts discusses assessing and quantifying the climate change and its impacts from a multi-faceted perspective of ecosystem, social and infrastructure resilience, given through a lens of statistics and d...Lasīt vairāk
When interpreting environmental data, scientists and engineers first must select the correct statistical tool to use for their analysis. By doing this they will be able to make sound decisions in their efforts to solve environmental problems. They ne...Lasīt vairāk
Written by renowned experts in the field, Sampling Strategies for Natural Resources and the Environment covers the sampling techniques used in ecology, forestry, environmental science, and natural resources. The book presents methods to estimate aggr...Lasīt vairāk
