Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot-based inventories. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 AbstractTo understand the state and trends in biodiversity beyond the scope of monitoring programs, biodiversity indicators must be comparable across inventories. Species richness (SR) is one of the most widely used biodiversity indicators. However, as SR increases with the size of the area sampled, inventories using different plot sizes are hardly ...

PLOT-SIZE IN YIELD SURVEYS [PDF]
Nature, 1947 RECENT communications by Sukhatme1'2 and Mahalanobis3 have established the conclusion that sample plots of a small size (25 sq. ft. or less according to Mahalanobis) give biased estimates of yield in sample surveys ; but whereas Sukl tme has shown the bias to. persist evenwith a plot-size of 118 sq.

Spatiotemporal changes in biomass after selective logging in a lowland tropical rainforest in peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2021 We studied biomass changes in a lowland tropical rain forest in the Pasoh Forest Reserve of Peninsular Malaysia after selective logging in 1958. A tree census was undertaken every 2 years from 1998 to 2012 in a 6-ha logged forest plot.

Experimental plot size of passion fruit [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2020 Abstract The determination of the plot size is a practical matter pertinent to the experimental planning, and its optimal characterization allows to obtain higher precision and better quality in the results. Therefore, in this study, the main goal was to determine the plot size in experiments of passion fruit in two uniformity tests with Passiflora ...

Chiral Perturbation Theory and Finite Size Effects on the Nucleon Mass in unquenched QCD [PDF]
, 2003 We calculate finite size effects on nucleon masses in chiral perturbation theory. We confront the theoretical predictions with N_f=2 lattice results and discuss chiral extrapolation formulae.Comment: talk at Lattice 03 (spectrum), 3 pages latex, 3 ...

Heterogeneity, plot shape effect and optimum plot size
Geoderma, 1994 By introducing heterogeneity indices, an empirical equation is proposed for characterizing the heterogeneity of non-isotropic fields. The formula is an extension of Fairfield Smith's (1938) empirical law describing heterogeneity in isotropic fields. Based on these indices, criteria are provided for choosing optimum plot shapes in terms of minimizing ...

Optimal plot size for cabbage experiments
Research, Society and Development, 2020 Among the factors that influence the detection of minimum significant differences between treatments in conventional experiments is the size of the plot, whose correct determination allows the reduction of experimental error, consequently, increases the precision of the experiment and the reliability of the interpretations and conclusions obtained ...

Optimal experimental plot size for papaya cultivation [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2019 Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the optimal size of experimental plots for the evaluation of agronomic characteristics and fruit quality of papaya, by the linear model of plateau response, under soil and climatic conditions of the Recôncavo Baiano region, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The experiment consisted of a uniformity test,

Universality in snowflake aggregation [PDF]
, 2003 Aggregation of ice crystals is a key process governing precipitation. Individual ice crystals exhibit considerable diversity of shape, and a wide range of physical processes could influence their aggregation; despite this we show that a simple computer ...
