have more of an impact inP. sylvestrisforests, as they attacked more stems (9%–18%) and higher basal area (1.6–5.5 m2/ha) thanP. resinosastands (3%–8% of stems and 0.4–2.4 m2/ha). Dead trees with signs of Siricidae and dead from other causes were also quantified, and in ...
This causes the AMWI sample to change more quickly and level-off with the object size thresholds. Figure 5. Overall accuracy for ABMI_PP with minimum object size in the test sample for the six CWCS classes based on the spatial extension assessment and best-test training convergence. Figure...
