    1. In forest inventory, this often mirrors how forests are already organized for management: large areas such as stands or management units serve as primary sampling units (PSUs), and within each selected PSU, a further sample of smaller units (secondary sampling units, or SSUs) is taken.

      This sentence changes the verb voice at the end, which makes it sound a little weird. Perhaps the second part should be "and within each selected PSU a further sample comprises the secondary sampling units (SSUs)".

    2. which handles varying SSU counts without much additional effort.

      This phrase could possibly be removed or reworked because it is a little unclear what it is referring to here: the code or the general case?

    1. MU_tot_estimates %>% glimpse() #> Rows: 3 #> Columns: 4 #> $ MU <chr> "90", "91", "92" #> $ total_AGB <dbl> 629.17, 719.03, 365.07 #> $ ci_lower_AGB <dbl> 435.38, 390.44, 268.68 #> $ ci_upper_AGB <dbl> 822.96, 1047.62, 461.47

      The instructions say to estimate each variable's total, but the code only shows one variable. Was this intentional?

    1. Here, we use generically to represent a bounded land area holding the population of interest.

      This doesn't quite make sense even after reading the sentence it comes from.

    2. One of the most effective strategies, as Kernighan also noted, is to pair deliberate reasoning with simple tools that make your workflow more transparent.

      Does this need a reference for Kernighan?
