🛰️ Ever wonder how classification errors in remote sensing derived maps influence area estimates in stratified random sampling? 🤔
A new study explores the impact of map accuracy on area estimation and offers methods to mitigate biases.

A tree cookie sawed off the top of a stump and laying on the ground. There is duff laying around the sample and disturbed soil where I had to dig out a bit of the stump. Red curved lines mark where the fire scars are located and the outermost curls are pairs from either side of an old catface.
For #FireScarFriday is a sample from WA state. A unique remnant with approx 12 scars! I added in red lines so you can see where the scars are. This piece was sawed off the top of a stump that was cut long ago. I love how the scars and pith were preserved but not much else haha! 🌲🔥❤️

New paper alert! Zombie fires overwinter, going underground to smolder through winter before reemerging. Until recently, we knew these fires occurred but knew little of their ecological or carbon impacts. Along with my amazing coauthors, we set out to change this. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
