Examination of the Effects of Curvature in Geometrical Space on Accuracy of Scaling Derived Projections of Plant Biomass Units: Applications to the Assessment of Average Leaf Biomass in Eelgrass Shoots

Figure 11

Residuals and normal probability plots ((a) and (b), resp.) resulting from fitting the linear regression model of the TAMA protocol (cf. (D.1) through (D.3)). A biased distribution of residuals around the zero line is depicted. Also, the normal Q-Q plot shows heavier tails than those expected for a normal distribution.
