Increasingly, forest management and conservation plans require spatially explicit information within a management
or conservation unit. Forest biomass and potential productivity are critical variables for forest planning and
assessment in the Pacific Northwest. Their values are often estimated from ground-measured sample data. For
unsampled locations, forest analysts and planners lack...
Forest surveys provide critical information for many diverse interests. Data are often collected from samples, and from these samples, maps of resources and estimates of aerial totals or averages are required. In this paper, two approaches for mapping and estimating totals; the spatial linear model (SLM) and k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbor)...
Dendritic ecological networks (DENs) are a unique form of ecological networks that exhibit a dendritic network topology (e.g. stream and cave networks or plant architecture). DENs have a dual spatial representation; as points within the network and as points in geographical space. Consequently, some analytical methods used to quantify relationships...
