Notes: A paper has just been published looking at the roles of ecological succession in shaping size-density relationships in trees and soil invertebrates. This is a paper from Poppy Romera's Master's thesis, and a collaboration between the University of Waikato and Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research. A subset of plots from the Tier 1/LUCAS dataset, stored in NVS, were used in the analysis.
