Why do we need permanent plots in the study of long‐term vegetation dynamics?

Abstract: . This paper presents a survey of vegetation studies on permanent plots, with an emphasis on the long‐term character of these studies. It makes remarks on the external and internal causes of succession, pays attention to the pathways of succession, links up permanent plots studies and chronosequences, discusses internal causes and mechanisms of succession, and finally mentions the significance of long‐term vegetation dynamics for nature conservation.

“…Typically, plots with a surface of at most several m 2 are used for vegetation research. They can represent homo- geneous patches and are necessary to reveal detailed information on vegetation patterns and processes (Bakker et al 1996). A stratified random set of some 100 permanent quadrats of 9 m 2 for example, is used for monitoring the effects of different management regimes at Belgian coastal dunes (Bonte et al 1998).…”

“…Segundo Bakker et al (1996) um método adequado para acompanhar e avaliar as mudanças na composição das espécies e dinâmica da floresta ao longo do tempo é por meio de parcelas permanentes (em inglês Permanent Sample Plots -PSPs). Essa metodologia tem sido amplamente utilizada em estudos de longa duração em florestas tropicais, pois permite avaliar a composição e a estrutura florestal e monitorar sua mudança no tempo (Dallmeier 1992, Condit 1995, Sheil 1995, Lewis et al 2004).…”

Permite avaliar também as consequências para a floresta de problemas como o aquecimento global e a poluição atmosférica (Bakker et al 1996).…”

“…Much insight has been yielded by 'trading space for time' in the application of chronosequence methods to forest ecosystems, but there are drawbacks to this method (Pickett 1989, Bakker et al 1996.…”
