Design of 1 ha experimental sites.

<p>Sites of 100 m×100 m included central and perpendicular transects (dashed lines), 10 m×10 m plots (hatched), 10 m transects (black lines), and area sampled for large trees 2×30 m×100 m = 0.51 ha) (grey shaded area). Different biomass components were sampled in different parts of the site.
