Improvement on Extrapolation of Species Abundance Distribution Across Scales from Moments Across Scales
share
Raw moments are used as a way to estimate species abundance distribution. The almost linear pattern of the log transformation of raw moments across scales allow us to extrapolate species abundance distribution for larger areas. However, results may produce errors. Some of these errors are due to computational complexity, fittings of patterns, binning methods, and so on. We provide some methods to reduce some of the errors. The main result is introducing new techniques for evaluating a more accurate species abundance distributions across scales through moments across scales.
