Quantifying the effect of sampling plot size on the estimation of structural indicators in old-growth forest stands
There is increasing awareness that structure-based indicators should be considered for assessing the biological value of late successional forests. In order to increase the unique habitat features critical for old-growth associated species, it is important to identify and rank candidate potential forest sites on the basis of their distinctive structural features. Data on living and deadwood com...
متن کاملGrowth, Development and Yield in Pure and Mixed Forest Stands
Objective: Ecosystems with mixed species compared to the ones with pure compositions provide a broader range of options in the fields of biodiversity, conservation, protection and restoration. Nearly all forest plantations are established as monocultures, but research has shown that there are potential advantages to be gained by using carefully designed species mixtures in place of monocultures...

متن کاملAssessing and monitoring forest biodiversity: A suggested framework and indicators
Enlightened forest management requires reliable information on the status and condition of each forest ± interpreted from a broad context ± and of change in forest conditions over time. The process of forest planning must begin with a clear statement of goals, from which detailed objectives and management plans follow. Goals and objectives for forest management should re ̄ect the conservation va...
متن کاملSampling methodology for LAI measurements with LAI-2000 in small forest stands
Leaf Area Index (LAI) plays a prominent role as an indicator of forest ecosystem condition in research on change detection. For this, rapid and reliable estimation of the effective LAI (LAIe) — this is the ratio of the total one-sided area of vegetation elements over the unit ground area) — at various scales is of utmost importance. We used the Licor LAI-2000 Plant Canopy Analyzer (PCA) for the...
