Relative to the mean of field reference AGB for the plot size from 200 to 1900 m2, the field –based SE estimates decreased from 14.1% to 8.2%, while for the model-assisted estimates decreased from 10.8% to 4.4%.
Our data show that the density estimates decreased by more than 50% from 1995 to 2000 and that the population began to recuperate from 2000 to 2002.
The RMSE of bathymetry estimates decreased sequentially as more SWOT observations were used in the estimate; we illustrate sequential processing of 6 months of SWOT observations.
The variability of the smooth estimates decreased as our beliefs in the shape of the effects were appended to the h-d relationship.
For the plot sizes that allowed consistent analysis for all 30 sizes, i.e. from 200 to 1900 m2, the field-based SE estimates decreased from 58.0 Mg ha−1 to 28.7 Mg ha−1, while the model-assisted SE estimates decreased from 44.3 Mg ha−1 to 15.5 Mg ha−1.
Results showed that total prey ingestion rate estimates decreased over the course of incubation by up to 75% after 24-h, with highest ingestion rates obtained during the initial 6-h.
The corrected abundance estimates decreased drastically (37%) between 2000 (62, 95% CI 59 65) and 2015 (39, 95% CI 37 40), and can be explained by a combination of low survival and recruitment rates.
Removing ebullition outliers, methane emission estimates decreased by one-fourth to one-half the annual rates given above to 30 g-CH4-C m−2 y−1 in permanent created freshwater marshes and 27 g-CH4-C m−2 y−1 in the restored brackish marshes.
Since multilateral resistance to migration generates an upward bias on the impact of the origin country unemployment to inflows, estimates decreased slightly under the specification with auxiliary regressions, where the decrease of inflows associated to an increase of 10 pp in the unemployment rate is only of 0.1 pp.
Population estimates for the DS method remained unbiased as the proportion of units intensively surveyed changed, but the variance of the estimates decreased with increasing proportion intensively surveyed.
However, as expected, SE of population trend estimates decreased with an increasing loge of cumulative sightings/species (slope = −0.02, r2 = 0.41, p<0.01).
