Pinus densiflora Pinaceae evergreen gymnosperm

Methods used

Sampling strategy: Sample trees were felled in a naturally regenerated Pinus densiflora stand (ca. 120 years old, 270 a.s.l.) located in the Touzanmatsu Experimental Forest, Iwate, Japan. Sample trees were divided into stem, branches, and needles.

Stem cross sectional area: Estimated from stem diameter.

Height: Method not reported.

Biomass: Measured fresh mass was converted to dry mass from the ratio of dry to fresh mass. The ratio was estimated from subsamples. Detailed method not reported.

Other variables: M.I. Ishihara, H. Utsugi, H. Tanouchi, and T. Hiura conducted formal search of reference databases and digitized raw data from Sato et al. (1971). Based on this reference, meta data was also created by M.I. Ishihara. Species name and family names were converted by M.I. Ishihara according to the following references: Satake Y, Hara H (1989a) Wild flower of Japan Woody plants I (in Japanese). Heibonsha, Tokyo; Satake Y, Hara H (1989b) Wild flower of Japan Woody plants II (in Japanese). Heibonsha, Tokyo.

Plots of data

This is how the study Sato1971 fits in the entire dataset (grey). each colour represents a species. A legend of species names with colours is included at the end for reports with 1 < n < 20 species.
