76 records

19 distinct species

Across the time series Argyrolobium zanonii is the most frequently occurring species

Methods

Field study that meaured community change over 4 years in control along with temperature and drought treatments (only included control site measurements). Recorded. from emergence to death. all emerging seedlings belonging to woody. perennial species in eight randomly selected quadrats (400cm2: 20 X 20 cm2) permanently sited in the same place in each stand. Recorded. from emergence to death. all emerging seedlings belonging to woody. perennial species in eight randomly selected quadrats (400cm2: 20 X 20 cm2) permanently sited in the same place in each stand. Unit of abundance = DensitySqM, Unit of biomass = NA
