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.

Romera PJ, Wallace KJ, McCarthy JK, Rai B, Mitchell G, Eisenhauer N, Lusk CH, Barnes AD. Ecological succession shapes size–density scaling relationships of trees and soil invertebrates. Functional Ecology: in press.
