Making better use of accuracy data in land change studies: Estimating accuracy and area and quantifying uncertainty using stratified estimation
The area of land use or land cover change obtained directly from a map may differ greatly
from the true area of change because of map classification error. An error-adjusted estimator …

Tall shrub and tree expansion in Siberian tundra ecotones since the 1960s
Circumpolar expansion of tall shrubs and trees into Arctic tundra is widely thought to be
occurring as a result of recent climate warming, but little quantitative evidence exists for …
