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

Residuals and normal probability plots ((a) and (b) one to one) for the fitting of the polynomial regression model of (D.8) through (D.10). Compared with TAMA results, distribution of residuals about the zero line improved. Normal Q-Q plot reveals a large plateau, where residuals conform to a normal distribution, but anyhow heavier tails than expected for such a pattern remain.
