| 1 | Empirical evaluation of confidence and prediction intervals for spatial models of forest structure in Jalisco,Mexico显示文摘In recent years there has been an increasing interest in developing spatial statistical models for data sets that are seemingly spatially independent.This lack of spatial structure makes it difficult,if not impossible to use optimal predictors such as ordinary kriging for modeling the spatial variability in the data.In many instances,the data still contain a wealth of information that could be used to gain flexibility and precision in estimation.In this paper we propose using a combination of regression analysis to describe the large-scale spatial variability in a set of survey data and a tree-based stratification design to enhance the estimation process of the small-scale spatial variability.With this approach,sample units(i.e.,pixel of a satellite image) are classified with respect to predictions of error attributes into homogeneous classes,and the classes are then used as strata in the stratified analysis.Independent variables used as a basis of stratification included terrain data and satellite imagery.A decision rule was used to identify a tree size that minimized the error in estimating the variance of the mean response and prediction uncertainties at new spatial locations.This approach was applied to a set of n=937 forested plots from a state-wide inventory conducted in 2006 in the Mexican State of Jalisco.The final models accounted for 62% to 82% of the variability observed in canopy closure(%),basal area(m2·ha-1),cubic volumes(m3·ha-1) and biomass(t·ha-1) on the sample plots.The spatial models provided unbiased estimates and when averaged over all sample units in the population,estimates of forest structure were very close to those obtained using classical estimates based on the sampling strategy used in the state-wide inventory.The spatial models also provided unbiased estimates of model variances leading to confidence and prediction coverage rates close to the 0.95 nominal rate. | Robin M.Reich C.Aguirre-Bravo Vanessa A.Bravo Martin Mendoza Briseo | 2011 | Journal of Forestry Research2011，22，2： | 3 |
| 2 | Influence of climatic conditions,topography and soil attributes on the spatial distribution of site productivity index of the species rich forests of Jalisco,Mexico显示文摘This paper presents an approach based on field data to model the spatial distribution of the site productivity index(SPI)of the diverse forest types in Jalisco,Mexico and the response in SPI to site and climatic conditions.A linear regression model was constructed to test the hypothesis that site and climate variables can be used to predict the SPI of the major forest types in Jalisco.SPI varied significantly with topography(elevation,aspect and slope),soil attributes(pH,sand and silt),climate(temperature and precipitation zones)and forest type.The most important variable in the model was forest type,which accounted for35%of the variability in SPI.Temperature and precipitation accounted for 8 to 9%of the variability in SPI while the soil attributes accounted for less than 4%of the variability observed in SPI.No significant differences were detected between the observed and predicted SPI for the individual forest types.The linear regression model was used to develop maps of the spatial variability in predicted SPI for the individual forest types in the state.The spatial site productivity models developed in this study provides a basis for understanding the complex relationship that exists between forest productivity and site and climatic conditions in the state.Findings of this study will assist resource managers in making cost-effective decisions about the management of individual forest types in the state of Jalisco,Mexico. | Adel Mohamed Robin M.Reich Raj Khosla C.Aguirre-Bravo Martin Mendoza Briseo | 2014 | Journal of Forestry Research2014，25，1： | 1 |
