The presence and characterization of measurement error in forestry

Creator:

Canavan, Sean Joseph

Abstract:

Measurement error (ME) is a component of any study involving the use of actual measurements, but is often not recognized or is ignored. The consequences of MEs on estimates of tree and stand attributes and the parameters and predictions of forest models can be varied and severe, including the presence...

Photogrammetric uses of a new-generation analytical stereoplotter in forestry

Creator:

Kiser, James D. (James Donald)

Abstract:

The development of personal computer software coupled to an analytical stereoplotter allows major gains in efficiency and accuracy in a number of forestry related subjects. This thesis describes the operation of a system developed by Carto Instruments. This thesis demonstrates how area estimates might be made in a systematic way...

Masters Thesis
Disaggregative and individual-tree growth models in theory and application

Creator:

Ritchie, Martin W.

Abstract:

Disaggregative and individual-tree/distance-independent modeling methods are compared and contrasted. Differences between the two are related to differences in functional and apparent resolution and may be illustrated using aggregation theory. When considering models of different levels of resolution describing a given phenomenon, invariance with respect to the aggregation implied (symmetry) may...
