The effect of spatial structure of forests on the precision and costs of plot-level forest resource estimation

Abstract Background We investigated how the precision and costs of forest resource estimates for sample plots of different type and size depend on the spatial structure of forests and jointly studied the effects of tree density and size distribution. Statistically thinking, the trees in a forest can...
