对永久性地块的监测使人们对热带森林的了解发生了革命性的变化。来自全球样地网络的数据改变了我们对森林多样性、功能、对全球生物地球化学循环的贡献以及对气候变化的敏感性的认识。迄今为止，监测工作主要集中在热带雨林。尽管人们日益认识到热带干旱森林的受威胁状况、生物多样性及其对全球碳循环的重要性，但对热带干旱森林的监测仍处于起步阶段。我们提供了一个在热带干旱森林永久监测地块的协议。将监测范围扩大到干旱生物群落对于克服气候变化、土地利用变化和生物多样性危机等相关挑战至关重要。
Societal Impact Statement Understanding of tropical forests has been revolutionized by monitoring in permanent plots. Data from global plot networks have transformed our knowledge of forests' diversity, function, contribution to global biogeochemical cycles, and sensitivity to climate change. Monitoring has thus far been concentrated in rain forests. Despite increasing appreciation of their threatened status, biodiversity, and importance to the global carbon cycle, monitoring in tropical dry forests is still in its infancy. We provide a protocol for permanent monitoring plots in tropical dry forests. Expanding monitoring into dry biomes is critical for overcoming the linked challenges of climate change, land use change, and the biodiversity crisis.
