Extending large-scale forest inventories to assess urban forests.
Urban areas are continuously expanding today, extending their influence on an increasingly large proportion of woods and trees located in or nearby urban and urbanizing areas, the so-called urban forests. Although these forests have the potential for significantly improving the quality the urban environment and the well-being of the urban population, data to quantify the extent and characterist...
متن کاملUnbiased emission factor estimators for large scale forest 1 inventories : domain assessment techniques
Large scale forest inventories are often undertaken following a stratified ran7 dom or systematic design. Yet the strata rarely correspond to the reporting areas of 8 interest (domains) over which the country wants to report specific variables. The process 9 is exemplified by a country aiming to use national forest inventory data to obtain aver10 age biomass estimates per forest type for GHGI i...
متن کاملTesting a Large-Scale Forestry Scenario Model by Means of Successive Inventories on a Forest Property
Modellers of large-scale forestry scenario models face numerous challenges. Information and sub-models from different disciplines within forestry, along with statistical and mathematical methodology, have to be considered. The individual biological submodels (i.e. models for recruitment, growth and mortality) applied in large-scale forestry scenario models are in general well documented and ext...
متن کاملConcurrent Learning of Large-Scale Random Forests
The random forest algorithm belongs to the class of ensemble learning methods that are embarassingly parallel, i.e., the learning task can be straightforwardly divided into subtasks that can be solved independently by concurrent processes. A parallel version of the random forest algorithm has been implemented in Erlang, a concurrent programming language originally developed for telecommunicatio...
متن کاملExtending the Scirun Problem Solving Environment to Large-scale Applications
To make the most of current advanced computing technologies, experts in particular areas of science and engineering should be supported by sophisticated tools for carrying out computational experiments. The complexity of individual components of such tools should be hidden from them so they may concentrate on solving the specific problem within their field of expertise. One class of such tools ...
