The variance of the unbiased Horvitz-Thompson estimator and expected costs of the basal area and tree density estimation were calculated for 99 different sample plots of different type and size

Some of these aquatic habitats are restrained to certain area, but other can be widespread (bamboostems, pitcher plants, and water-filled tree holes). Moreover

Hemisfer ist ein Programm zur Schätzung vom Blattflächen-Index (BFI, oder LAI in Englisch: leaf area index) und vom Licht-Haushalt aus hemispherischen Photos.
The main goal of MoGLI is to project the potential distribution of the most common Swiss woody species across the entire forested area of Switzerland.
From 2007 to 2022, mycologists of the Greater Zürich Area have met once a year in a one-day symposium termed 'Zürich Mycology Symposium'. The goal of the symposium was the scientific exchange and the networking among this community and the location and the organizers of the symposium alternated between the participating institutions i.e. ETH Zürich, University of Zürich, Agroscope Reckenholz, Agroscope Wädenswil and WSL Birmensdorf
