Sentence examples for measures of tree from inspiring English sources

The social status of residents was related to measures of tree cover.

This study relates direct measures of tree canopy interception and discusses their implication for catchment hydrology in different urban landscape contexts.

We used airborne scanning light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to assess whether fragment area was correlated with estimates of fragment vegetation volume as well as measures of tree height.

Analysis of five statistical measures of tree balance or symmetry borrowed from taxonomy indicates that the genealogical trees of samples of populations in which selection is actuating are in the average more asymmetric than neutral trees and that this effect is enhanced by increasing the sample size.

These approaches typically rely upon allometric equations to scale simple field measures of tree structure (diameter at breast height, height) to wood volume and ultimately to carbon mass by accounting for wood density [4, 5].

Most of these methods extract a single summary index from the distribution of nodes, so it's not too surprising that the majority of such measures of tree shape are sensitive to the level, or depth in the phylogeny at which imbalance is concentrated [3], [71] and to the presence of polytomies [36].

Allometric model parameters are not restricted to only the above-ground measures of trees' traits (such as stem diameter and height), but also characterize below-ground biomass.

Through linear and curvilinear regression analysis, we found a power line model best describes the relationship between each measure of tree cover density and preference.

If the research bears fruit, Australian federal, state and local authorities would have at their fingertips the first precise measure of tree numbers that could potentially serve as a starting point to assess the scale of deforestation within cities. Until then, they simply won't be able to see the urban forest for the trees.
