Chapter Chapter 2 in Sampling Spatial Units for Agricultural Surveys, 2015, pp 37-48 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The aim of an agricultural survey is to estimate several variables of interest for the total survey area. The estimate of each variable is obtained through an inference procedure using the values in all, or a sample, of the reporting units (typically the holdings or land areas). During recent years, the use of spatial reference frames has become more attractive for defining the sampling design. This approach appears to be suited to the analysis of agricultural data, which are often geographically distributed. In this chapter, we outline some survey examples that make effective use of spatial reference frames.
