In order to get tree growth curves we estabilshed an allometry campaign during which we carefully measured, subsampled, dried and then re-constructed the biomass of 154 trees belonging to 8 species. The sampling is done to allows estimation of bio...

This research is designed to collect data on diversity in subtropical forest ecosystems and relate it to ecosystem services such as primary productivity, carbon storage, prevention of soil erosion, and invasion resistance to exotic plants. This da...

We performed an extensive vegetation survey of the central plots of each CSP in GNNR in 2008. Herb layer communities can serve as ecosystem functioning variable, which is of importance for all community and ecosystem-based statements. We made a de...

The study of spatial genetic structure (SGS) can provide an understanding of the key processes and factors involved in the maintenance of viable populations. Within plant populations SGS is mainly determined by the interplay between gene flow by s...

Updated 2011-11-14: Different diversity measures, including richness, Shannon, Simpson, Eveness, rarefaction and phylogenetic diversity based on the tree and shrub species in the CSPs. Comparative Study Plots (CSP) of the Biodiversity - Ecosystem...
