Hi Chaoyun,

Thank you so much for your reference. I've been consult with my teacher. But she said that this is relatively. It's about condition. We don't know the forest future because it is dinamyc. Soon i read your literature.

Thanks so much again you've been help me.

Hi Fransisca,

Diversity index would be impossible to predict future forest condition especially for tropical rain forests.Last year, we did some work using data from the Central African rain forests to support this fact.

We are convinced it would be easier to predict using data from temperate and planted forests.

Hello

Dear Fransisca,

You can use diversity index to predict future forest condition for any forest types.
