When books and papers start piling up on the floor of my office it's a good sign that I'm deep into a project. In this case, the Rattans of Myanmar (see Rattans of Myanmar). Over the past ten years, we have identified, counted, and measured rattan canes in over 1,000 sample plots in northern Myanmar. Lot of numbers to sift through. [NOTE: It's been years since I've done a PQV (Paired-Quadrat Variance) analysis of spatial pattern].
