Vegetation types and tree density
Description
Forests are an important renewable natural resource of our society. They conserve water and soil, moderate temperature and provide fuel, fodder, fiber, fertilizer etc. Forests give us timber and medicinal plants. Some uses of forests can be evaluated in money terms rather easily. One such item is timber. Three things decide market value of timber. Tree species (teak and rosewood are very valuable), volume (market price is per unit volume) and dimension of log (larger planks fetch higher price per unit volume). Hence foresters' inventories of stock include tree count by species and girth class. It is relevant to summarize such information using probability distributions. Ecologists are interested further in monitoring the variety of trees as judged by counts in different vegetation types.

Fitting of distributions with group data, comparison of parameters need to be performed for this data set.
