Measuring Riparian Width

Model
This model is a modification of an older model by Camporeale and Ridolfi (2006) that studied the influence of river flow variability on the distribution of biomass of riparian vegetation. The new and modified model defines an upper or hillside bound of riparian vegetation, in addition to the lower bound defined in the older model, and thus clearly delineate riparian width. The assumptions made in the model include:(1) Only one species is considered, thus ignoring interspecific dynamics. (2...

Life table

Model
The life table model is one of the type of survival analysis which pertains to "time to event". The information that were accumulated throughout the study is one of the advatage of this method.This often used in demographics and epidemiology but can also be used on agricultural economics. Sperling and Loevinsohn (1992) used this method in analyzing varietal diffusion for beans in which the main objective is to know howm nay technology adopters remains after a time period.
