Relating Plant Biodiversity in Forests with the Spatial Scale of Ecosystem Processes
Figure 6
Moment of Shannon diversity (effective species number) plotted versus sample area A for the ecological series of North-Central European beech forests according to Tables 1 and 2. The full lines correspond to the curve sections that were calculated from the data material. The dashed sections of the curves were modelled according to (9) using the parameters listed in Table 3.
