Sentence examples for estimates of trees from inspiring English sources

These scaled-up indirect estimates of trees' seed crops closely matched direct estimates from the census of fruit capsule production described above (r = 0.85; log-transformed values, r = 0.89, n = 25 trees), but were underestimated for trees with >40 capsules (points begin to fall below 1∶1 line).

Currently, most estimates of tree biomass, including willow, rely on measurement of stem diameter.

Our analysis suggests that using our models will substantially improve the accuracy of estimates of tree biomass and its distribution among different pools in swidden fallows.

Differences in air temperature and humidity patterns were compared with estimates of tree transpiration derived from high-resolution stem size and sap flow measurements.

To partition leaf area index between trees and the herbaceous/shrubby understorey requires good estimates of tree canopy cover and is of key importance to understand the ecology and the changes in land cover.

We used a combination of climate data, estimates of tree mortality and ratings of die-off symptoms (categories of grey discoloration and rotting associated with moth attacks), and proxies for landscape degradation associated with livestock grazing.

Although the Landsat Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index provided the best regression fit (R2 = 0.56), results suggested that RapidEye provided much more spatially detailed estimates of tree damage (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, R2 = 0.51).

The results provided fairly accurate estimates of tree height (RMSE, 1.64 m) and derived stem diameter (DBH) (RMSE, 10.32 cm).

These tree height estimates, as well as tree species and DBH, served as inputs to the CRM estimates of tree biomass.

Some of these inconsistencies can be reduced by including sub-pixel estimates of tree cover [30] instead of a forest/non-forest mask in future continental scale mapping projects similar to the Wilson map [15].

We compared how using observed and modeled estimates of tree mortality during wildfire (Figure 1) might influence the timing of carbon recovery in treated and untreated stands in our study area.
