(25/10/2023 - 16/11/2023)
Our goal was to sampling soil, insect, and plant data from representative plots from the National Forest Inventory. We traveled from the coast to the upper Amazon forest. It was ok, I guess.
In general, the variables sampled per tree from the plots were:
SLA
LDMC
Leaf thickness
Leaf biome
Chlorophyll
Nutrients
Wood density
Wood bark length
Soil density
Soil microbes
Root density
