The effects of prescribed burning on the rates of recent litter
decomposition, nitrogen and phosphorus release from litter, soil total and
inorganic nitrogen pools, and net nitrogen mineralization were determined in
ponderosa pine sites that had been burned 0.3, 5 or 12 years earlier. Prescribed
burning decreased litter decomposition rates...
Regression calibration inference seeks to estimate regression models with measurement error in explanatory variables by replacing the mismeasured variable by its conditional expectation, given a surrogate variable, in an estimation procedure that would have been used if the true variable were available. This study examines the effect of the uncertainty...
