Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot‐based inventories
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8965
Abstract: Abstract To understand the state and trends in biodiversity beyond the scope of monitoring programs, biodiversity indicators must be comparable across inventories. Species richness (SR) is one of the most widely used biodiversity indicators. However,… read more here.

Detecting small‐study effects and funnel plot asymmetry in meta‐analysis of survival data: A comparison of new and existing tests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Research Synthesis Methods"
DOI: 10.1002/jrsm.1266
Abstract: Small‐study effects are a common threat in systematic reviews and may indicate publication bias. Their existence is often verified by visual inspection of the funnel plot. Formal tests to assess the presence of funnel plot… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10342-020-01257-9
Abstract: Many volume functions use diameter and height as input variables. Measurement and prediction errors in heights propagate into the error of the wood volume estimate for a tree or a plot. We quantified these errors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-020-8099-3
Abstract: Direct measurements, models, and risk maps play significant roles in assessment and monitoring of wind erosion cases. Although active and passive traps allow researchers to measure point sediment transports directly, it is also possible to… read more here.
