Digital data collection in forest dynamics plots
1. Computers are widely used in all aspects of research but their application to in-field data collection for forest plots has rarely been evaluated. 2. We developed digital data collection methods using ESRI mapping software and ruggedized field computers to map and measure 30 000 trees in two 4-ha forest dynamics plots in wet and dry tropical forest inHawaii.We then compared our data collecti...
متن کاملIncreasing biomass in Amazonian forest plots.
A previous study by Phillips et al. of changes in the biomass of permanent sample plots in Amazonian forests was used to infer the presence of a regional carbon sink. However, these results generated a vigorous debate about sampling and methodological issues. Therefore we present a new analysis of biomass change in old-growth Amazonian forest plots using updated inventory data. We find that acr...
متن کاملConcerted changes in tropical forest structure and dynamics: evidence from 50 South American long-term plots.
Several widespread changes in the ecology of old-growth tropical forests have recently been documented for the late twentieth century, in particular an increase in stem turnover (pan-tropical), and an increase in above-ground biomass (neotropical). Whether these changes are synchronous and whether changes in growth are also occurring is not known. We analysed stand-level changes within 50 long-...
متن کاملADS 40 – Progress in digital aerial data collection
After its introduction at the ISPRS Congress in Amsterdam in 2000 the LH Systems ADS40 Airborne Digital Sensor has undergone extensive final tuning, flight tests and calibration, culminating in first deliveries to customers in summer 2001. Recent tests have included investigations into the geometric and radiometric performance of all seven channels-three panchromatic and four multispectral-usin...
متن کاملThe Use of Meta-Analysis and Forest Plots to Examine and Display Data in Oncology Research
Author's disclosures of potential conflicts of interest are found at the end of this article. I n the article authored by Thom-as et al. (2014) discussed by Car-olyn Grande and Marcia Brose on page 461, there are several statistical tools used to understand the data. The data are presented in a quantitative fashion, e.g., numerical measures of outcomes. The statistical tool of meta-analysis is ...
