Structure, Production and Diversity of the Oak-Pine Forest at Brookhaven, New York

Whittaker, R. H., Woodwell, G. M.·1969·The Journal of Ecology

Abstract

The oak-pine forest at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Long Island, is the subject of continuing ecological study. Our objectives have included measurement of a number of attributes of the forest that integrate structure and function at the ecosystem level; among these are biomass, organic production and respiration, surface areas of leaves and of bark, nutrient inventory and turnover, and species-diversity. In addition, the forest is the subject of long-term studies of the effects of ionizing radiation. The system of techniques of 'dimension analysis' developed at Brookhaven for intensive study of forests and shrub communities was discussed in the preceding paper (Whittaker & Woodwell 1968). The measurements which result are used in this paper to describe and interpret the structure, production and species composition of the Brookhaven Forest.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
