Discussion on Issues of Sample Plots of Straddling Forests in Integrated Monitoring of Forest and Grass Ecology
Sample plots of straddling forests had significant impacts on integrated monitoring of forest and grass ecology.With development of monitoring technologies and expansion of monitoring contents,concepts of sam-ple plots of straddling forests have changed.Concepts of sample plots of straddling forests and differences in dif-ferent regulations,protocols and rules over years were compared and analyzed.Combined with problems in cur-rent monitoring practice,suggestions were put forward to improve concepts of sample plots of straddling forests.It was suggested that new definition of sample plots of straddling forests was that dominant vegetation cover types were not arbor forests,bamboo forests or sparse forests,but sample plots contained arbor forests,bamboo forests or sparse forests with outreach areas of more than 400 m2.
