How variation among field assessments can affect biodiversity offset outcomes

Conservation Science and Practice
Biodiversity offsetting aims to balance biodiversity loss at development sites with gains at offset sites. Measurement of loss and gain relies on transparent and repeatable estimates of biodiversity values. However, these estimates are often derived from

How to assess intra- and inter-observer agreement with quantitative PET using variance component analysis:a proposal for standardisation [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Quantitative measurement procedures need to be accurate and precise to justify their clinical use. Precision reflects deviation of groups of measurement from another, often expressed as proportions of agreement, standard errors of measurement,
