Methods

Per survey site (= plot) five locations of the sub-plot were set up with pit fall trap survey (also collected data for deposited litter layer soil and cellulose filter degradation test) Taken the period of data: 2004 to 2014. And research the number of sites: 22 Site. Plots number: 33 plots. Natural production forests 30 (of old forests and elderly secondary forest 19 eleven secondary forest) artificial forests is three (PlotList csv provides the habitat for each plot: DB: deciduous broad-leaved forest EB: evergreen broad-leaved forest BC: needle wide mixed forest EC: evergreen coniferous forests AT: artificial forests) - not included in the database. Many of the plots is 100m square-ku. Sub-plot in the 5m square-ku has been buried four of the pit fall trap.
