Bücher der Reihe Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics

Containing many recent developments available for the first time in book form, this concise and up-to-date work presents the statistical concepts and tools needed to conduct a modern forest inventory. It develops the Monte Carlo approach for both simple and complex sampling schemes and explores design-based, model-assisted, and model-dependent inference, including geostatistics and Kriging procedures. The book also explains the design of optimal sampling schemes based on anticipated variance, introduces the g-weight technique for variance estimation, and presentsthe stereological approach to transect sampling. In addition, it includes numerous case studies, simulations, and instructive problems with solutions.

Future Sustainable Ecosystems: Complexity, Risk, Uncertainty provides an interdisciplinary, integrative overview of environmental problem-solving using statistics. It shows how statistics can be used to solve diverse environmental and socio-economic problems involving food, water, energy scarcity, and climate change risks.

Environmental and Ecological Statistics with R, Second Edition focuses on statistical modeling and data analysis for environmental and ecological problems. By guiding readers through the process of scientific problem solving and statistical model development, it eases the transition from scientific hypothesis to statistical mode
