County, Zhejiang of East China. Both PSCPS and PSCBS are based on sequential
Gaussian cosimulation and take spatial variability of variables into account in the
upscaling process, which makes it possible to simultaneously and accurately obtain
estimates and estimation variances at any coarser spatial resolutions from the sample
FIGURE 6.5 Variances of block predicted values for above-ground forest carbon at spatial
resolution of 990 m ´ 990 m by (a) PSCPS and (b) PSCBS, respectively; their coefficients of
variation by (c) PSCPS and (d) PSCBS, respectively; and probability maps for block predicted
values larger than a given threshold—sample mean by (e) PSCPS and ( f ) PSCBS, respectively.
