Forest survey of species richness and basal area for two tidal forest plots at GCE 11 on the Altamaha River in Southeast Georgia in December 2013

We established two 0.1-ha plots in the Site 11 tidal forest in December 2013 to monitor forest composition. In each plot, we identified the species and measured DBH (diameter at breast height) of every tree using standard diameter tapes. We also used the DBH measurements to calculate the basal area of each tree.

2013年12月，我们在11号潮间带森林样地（Site 11 tidal forest）设立了两块面积为0.1公顷的样方，以监测森林群落组成。在每块样方中，我们对所有树木开展物种鉴定，并使用标准直径卷尺测量其胸径（DBH, diameter at breast height）。此外，我们还基于测得的胸径数据计算每株树木的基面积（basal area）。
