When foresters replant various species of trees within an aborial region, they want to optimize the uniform spacing between replants. Large test plots are often replanted in regions where heavy logging is permitted or anticipated. Because replanting has constraints with respect to labor costs, quality control considerations seldom exceed uniform standards for implantation technique and replant spacing.
Regrowth measurements from test plots may exhibit distributions that reflect cognitive expectations except for spikes caused by replants that failed or are drastically stunted. Further investigation might reveal that many failures and dwarfs occurred in patches that were planted in unforseen downpour erosion channels or in anomalous pockets of inadequate topsoil. When neither of these circumstances prevail or characterize the region, foresters would like to eliminate or dampen the impact of anomalous failures and dwarfs on statistics intended to evaluate replant spacing. At the same time, the prevailing topology with respect to irrigation and sunlight exposure may produce footprints characterized by rather frequent failures and dwarfs. If the test plot is representative of regional topology, foresters would like to include these representative failures and dwarfs in their statistics.
Thus, while a prison gang might replant a test plot, expert foresters are needed to intelligently sample the results and analyze the statistics.
Since most races conditions are written to promote uniformity, but many horses are trained and ridden by folks who could not succeed in mainstream society, and some horses are compromised by unforeseen circumstances or obscure ailments and injuries, while other horses perform as we might expect when subtle biases are considered... why should it surprise anyone that the best picks on the web are posted at http://www.fs.fed.us/?
