The burn-only treatment initially reduced richness and cover of the understory, but by year three all active treatments increased plot-scale understory richness relative to pre-treatment and the control.
Domestically, the incident was reported to have increased plotting against Diệm by his officers.
There was clearly a trend of improved RE of the model-assisted estimates by increasing plot size.
However, from Figure 12, we see an increasing plot of V- ϕ for interacting DBI-essence in the logamediate scenario.
The RMSE% values for LOOCV decreased non-linearly with increasing plot size, from 63.8 to 29.2% (Figure 1b).
Plot boundary effects, co-registration problems, and misalignment problems favor larger plots because the relative impact of these effects on the models of relationships may decline by increasing plot size.
Furthermore, the decrease in ALS model residuals (Table 3) with increasing plot sizes is a clear indication that smaller plots are more prone to boundary effects compared to larger plots.
Variance estimates of model-assisted mean AGB relative to corresponding variance estimates of pure field-based AGB, decreased with increasing plot size in the range from 200 to 3000 m2.
For instance, plot connectivity and/or selection for high dispersal ability may increase plot α-diversity and compensate for low total γ-diversity.
Effect sizes increased slightly with increasing plot size for maize and all crops pooled but declined slightly in potato when both these Bt crops were compared against sprayed non-Bt controls.
