Then, visually interpreting the corresponding year’s Google Earth images was conducted to gain the ground truths to validate the classifications. 2.6.3. Forest AGB Modeling Verification Twenty percent of the pixel-level AGB field measurements, as an independent dataset, were used to evaluate the ...
The costs to NTID for paying tuition and providing support services such as interpreting and note-taking for these students took an increasingly larger share of NTID's financial resources. NTID's faculty who teach technical courses had decreased only marginally, despite a 20 percent decrease in ...

” CMECS played a key role in developing map units, interpreting biotopes, and establishing statistically significant and ecologically meaningful biotic–abiotic relationships. This study also highlights the value and management applications of benthic mapping specific to FIIS and more broadly and ...
