Case studies related to the economic value of native plants will enhance the care to the environment, as a lot of decision makers don't care about the environment unless if we as scientists talk interims of money.
Hi Dr. Ali, I would recommend to randomly sample 30 plants and measure their heights, diameters at bottom and top. This will let you to calculate the volume. After getting the volume, you would need to use satellite images classification technique to estimate their numbers in the State of Kuwait. The last step is to multiply their numbers by the mean volume and then devide it the by their market price.
it actually depends on the unit that they use in pricing.
if it is for fire purposes they would use kg or pound.
if it is for furniture or construction, they would use cubic feet (volume).
I will try to find some references. I have done this but it was two years ago.
Best regards
