Large areas assessments of forest bioinass distribution are a challenge in heterogeneous landscapes, where variations in tree growth and species composition occur over short distances. In this study, we use statistica...
In this paper, we used geostatistics studied the spatial heterogeneity of total nitrogen and phosphorus on the top soil (0–10 cm) in old growth forests of Korean pine. There was a high degree of spatial heterogeneity...
The study area was located in Liangshui Natural Reserve. Xaoxing'an Mountains. Northeastern China. Korean pine forests are the typical forest ecosystems and landscapcs in this region. It is a high degrees of spatial a...
Spatial heterogeneity is a very important issue in studying functions and processes of ecological systems at various scales. Semivariogram analysis is an effective technique to summarize spatial data,and quantificatio...
