In forest landscape level analyses, forest information is commonly represented by separate polygons, defined by differences in species composition, stand structure, crown closure, and productivity. The simplest approach to projecting yield of stands over the land base is to create an aggregated yield table, weighted by area of each stand...
Almost universally, forest inventory and monitoring databases are incomplete, ranging from missing data for only a few records and a few variables, common for small land areas, to missing data for many observations and many variables, common for large land areas. For a wide variety of applications, nearest neighbor (NN)...
