TL;DR: In this paper, the basic assumptions of regression analysis are recalled with special reference to the use of a logarithmic transformation, and the limitations imposed on inference-making by failure to comply with these assumptions are discussed.

TL;DR: Simple criteria are presented for the initiation of crown combustion and for the minimum rates of spread and heat transfer into the crown combustion zone at which the crown fire will spread.
Abstract: Some theory and observations are presented on the factors governing the start and spread of crown fire in conifer forests. Crown fires are classified in three ways according to the degree of depend...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared light regimes beneath closed canopies and tree-fall gaps for five temperate and tropical forests using fish-eye photography of intact forest canopie and a model for calculating light penetration through idealized gaps.
Abstract: Light regimes beneath closed canopies and tree-fall gaps are compared for five temperate and tropical forests using fish-eye photography of intact forest canopies and a model for calculating light penetration through idealized gaps. Beneath intact canopies, analyses of canopy photographs indicate that sunflecks potentially contribute 37–68% of seasonal total photosynthetically active radiation. In all of the forests, potential sunfleck duration is brief (4–6 min), but the frequency distributions of potential sunfleck duration vary because of differences in canopy geometry and recent disturbance history. Analysis of the photographs reveals that incidence angles for photosynthetically active radiation beneath closed canopies are not generally vertical for any of the forests, but there was considerable variation both among and within sites in the contribution of overhead versus low-angle lighting. Calculations of light penetration through idealized single-tree gaps in old growth Douglas-fir – hemlock forests...

TL;DR: For many types of forest studies, it is essential to identify the exact years of formation of annual rings in increment cores taken from living trees to ensure against counting error, or errors, caused by missing or false rings.
Abstract: For many types of forest studies, it is essential to identify the exact years of formation of annual rings in increment cores taken from living trees. To accomplish this, dendrochronologists employ...

TL;DR: The light transmission characteristics of the nine deciduous and coniferous species that dominate the transition oak–northern hardwood forests of southern New England are analyzed.
Abstract: We have analyzed the light transmission characteristics of the nine deciduous and coniferous species that dominate the transition oak–northern hardwood forests of southern New England. Maximum like...
