Relating Plant Biodiversity in Forests with the Spatial Scale of Ecosystem Processes
Plant species diversity of North-Central European forests is quantified by diversity profiles that give different weights to rare and dominant species. Diversity profiles saturate with increasing sample area obeying a hyperbolic saturation model. The paper addresses the question about (1) the spatia...
