About the Book

Sound forest management planning requires cost-efficient approaches to optimally utilize given resources. Emphasizing the mathematical and statistical features of forest sampling to assess classical dendrometrical quantities, Sampling Techniques for Forest Inventories presents the statistical concepts and tools needed to conduct a modern for

Review :
…the text is an excellent addition to the forest and natural resource inventory literature, and nicely compliments classic and contemporary texts focused broadly on applied concepts and tools but lacking in rigorous statistical treatment. … this text is an important contribution to the literature, as it provides a unique, mathematically rigorous tour of classical and modern topics on forest sampling theory. Of particular importance is the text’s emphasis on model-based methods, which are becoming increasingly important within forest and natural resources inventory. —The American Statistician, Vol. 63, No. 3, August 2009, and JASA, Winter 2008 …In this field, the author is a leading expert who presents the modern state of the art, in particular his own work of the last two decades. … a valuable, up-to-date reference book for the theoretical aspects of forest inventories and sampling … . —Dietrich Stoyan, Biometrical Journal, Vol. 51, 2009 This compact little volume is packed with important and useful ideas. —Donald E. Myers, University of Arizona, Technometrics, May 2009 This is an important reference for those wanting to understand the theory of sampling in forest inventory, and also for those with graduate- or postgraduate-level skills in statistics who apply these techniques in the forestry industry. Despite its length, the book provides reasonably thorough coverage of the theory of statistics applied to forest inventories. …a very useful, up-to-date reference book on the theory of statistics as it should be applied to forest inventory. —International Statistical Review, 2008 …the text is an excellent addition to the forest and natural resource inventory literature, and nicely compliments classic and contemporary texts focused broadly on applied concepts and tools but lacking in rigorous statistical treatment. … this text is an important contribution to the literature, as it provides a unique, mathematically rigorous tour of classical and modern topics on forest sampling theory.
