This book was released on 2015-01-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identifying the appropriate sampling technique first requires the identification of the proper vegetation characteristic or attribute to measure. To do this the examiner must consider objectives, life form (grass, forb, shrub, or tree), distribution patterns of individuals of a species, distribution patterns between species (community mosaic pattern), efficiency of data collection from an economic standpoint, and accuracy and precision of the data.

This book was released on 1964 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a projected series dealing with methods of identifying and classifying significant physical environmental factors. This paper deals with some of the problems of providing an accurate description of vegetation for military purposes. Military users of information on vegetation are more interested in structural characteristics of plants than species names. One of the first steps in a methodology for vegetation analysis is to list all possible characteristics of vegetation; a second step is to consider methods for obtaining this information. The first part of this paper concerns itself with listing plant and animal characteristics that might conceivably be of importance and includes an outline and decimal numbering system for these characteristics. The second part considers vegetation sampling methods in general and analyzes a method that has been and is presently being used by military vegetation teams. (Author).

Download or read book Measurements for Terrestrial Vegetation written by Charles D. Bonham and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements for Terrestrial Vegetation, 2nd Edition presents up-to-date methods for analyzing species frequency, plant cover, density and biomass data. Each method is presented in detail with a full discussion of its strengths and weaknesses from field applications through statistical characteristics of bias and use of the correct probability distribution to describe and analyze data. This practical book also covers the use of satellite imagery to obtain measurement data on cover, density and biomass. Field data collection includes current applications of statistical sampling and analysis designs that should be used to obtain and analyze these data. This new and thoroughly updated edition of a classic text will be essential reading for everyone involved in measuring and assessing vegetation and plant biomass, including researchers and practitioners in vegetation science, plant ecology, forestry, global change scientists and conservation scientists. Provides a comprehensive catalogue of sampling, surveying and measuring techniques in vegetation science Updated to include new technologies and developments in the field New coverage of prediction models for large areas, including satellite mapping and remote sensing techniques Includes up-to-date applications of statistical sampling and analysis designs used to obtain and analyse data Reviews the strengths and weaknesses of each technique, allowing an informed choice of alternative approaches Clear diagrams to explain best-practice in methodology The companion website for this book can be found at www.wiley.com/go/bonham/measurements

This book was released on 2009 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vegetation Diversity and Structure Indicator (VEG) is an extensive inventory of vascular plants in the forests of the United States. The VEG indicator provides baseline data to assess trends in forest vascular plant species richness and composition, and the relative abundance and spatial distribution of those species, including invasive and introduced species. The VEG indicator is one of several sets of measures collected by the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) Program of the USDA Forest Service to assess forest health. This document describes the sampling design, field data collection methods, primary output objectives, and estimation procedures for summarizing FIA VEG data.
