A Novel Approach to reveal the Species/Carbon Relationship of Understory Plants in target region

In this research, we developed a brand-new approach to numerical analysis using the species/carbon relationship between the understory plants of Casuarina and Acacia confusa in Taiwan. The difference between the S/C values of Taichung Harbor and the Sihhu area was the largest at 10.12-fold. The ratio of Taichung Harbor to Sihhu was as great as a 11.12. The difference of Tongsiao and the Hengchun Peninsula for Acacia confusa was 2.66-fold. The S/C value obviously decreases as the C value increases and results in an increase in the understory plants’ carbon storage. Meanwhile, the variety of species was affected, and showed a negative correlation. The negative correlation between biomass and species was not significant, with a value of -0.136.
