With interest growing in areas of forestry, conservation and other
natural sciences, the need to organize and tabulate large amounts
of forestry and natural science information has become a necessary
skill. Previous attempts of applying statistical methods to these
areas tend to be over-specialized and of limited use; an elementary
text using methods, examples and exercises that are relevant to
forestry and the natural sciences is long overdue. This book
utilizes basic descriptive statistics and probability, as well as
commonly used statistical inferential tools to introduce topics
that are commonplace in a forestry context such as hypothesis
texting, design of experiments, sampling methods, nonparametric
tests and statistical quality control. It also contains examples
and exercises drawn from the fields of forestry, wood science, and
conservation.
