Description for Measurements for Terrestrial Vegetation Hardcover. Measurements for Terrestrial Vegetation, 2nd Edition presents up-to-date methods for analyzing species frequency, plant cover, density and biomass data. Num Pages: 260 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PSAF; PST. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 175 x 251 x 18. Weight in Grams: 548.

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.

Reviews for Measurements for Terrestrial Vegetation
“In summary, this book is excellent for describing the methods for measuring vegetative attributes (frequency, cover, density, and biomass) and the sampling design that will provide unbiased estimates for the attribute measured.”  (Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing, 1 November 2014 “Summing Up: Recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.”  (Choice, 1 February 2014)
