摘要

Monitoring to detect changes in forest biodiversity requires that the data 1) actually reflect spatial and temporal patterns in biodiversity that are of interest, 2) are reliable and repeatable, and 3) use resources (time, money) optimally. Biodiversity sampling has emphasized field protocols, assuming that standardization will result in data that accurately reflect true diversity patterns. However, many sources of bias and variability exist that may confound temporal and spatial comparisons of biodiversity measures, even if the field sampling is identical at all locations (e.g., forest biodiversity plots). In particular, measures such as presence/absence, species richness, relative abundance, and diversity indices are sensitive to 1) unequal sampling probabilities among species; 2) low probability of sampling rare species; 3) biased sampling; and 4) spatially or temporally heterogeneous sampling. Standardized field methods and the use of techniques such as species-area relationships are not robust to the above. These problems can be ameliorated through proper definition of a target population, judicious choice of a sampling frame and method for selecting sampling units, and collection of ancillary data to estimate and adjust for sampling heterogeneity. Complicating matters, forest biodiversity surveys frequently are implemented at one level of spatial resolution but used for comparisons at other levels. Finally, resources are limited, and it is unlikely that all objectives of a forest biodiversity survey can be met. Sampling and decision theories can be used to evaluate how a survey is likely to meet conservation objectives, and in adaptively refining surveys and re-allocating survey efforts.
