Shiver and Bruce E. Borders are the authors of Sampling Techniques for Forest Resource Inventory, published by Wiley.   This book provides thorough coverage of forest inventory topics for the practioner rather than the theoretician. It should be understandable to forest resource undergraduates and indispensable as a reference for the practicing professional. It brings together techniques designed for timber inventory, methods created specifically for sampling mobile wildlife populations, and other methods which can be used to inventory virtually any forest resource (vegetation, soils, water, and so on). Many of the methods discussed have been previously available only as journal articles. Sampling Techniques for Forest Resource Inventory addresses practical questions such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to determine needed sample size\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to handle edge effect problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to design cruises to reduce sampling errors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to inventory to estimate forest growth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to obtain the full benefits from stratification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to use auxiliary variables to inventory more efficiently and more pre cisely simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow and when to use point sampling and how to make the point vs. plot comparison\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to conduct basic wildlife inventories\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow and when to use 3P sampling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989987082469,"sku":"NP9780471109402","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471109402.jpg?v=1761786114","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/sampling-techniques-for-forest-resource-inventory-isbn-9780471109402","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
