Fig. 3From: Improving the design of long-term monitoring experiments in forests: a new method for the assessment of local soil variability by combining infrared spectroscopy and dendrometric dataTreatment layout at the Darney experimental site (a) and the Compiègne beech experimental site (b) overlapped with the map of the axis 1 coordinates of the PCA for the infrared reflectance spectral data. The crossed areas correspond to additional plots, which were not retained in the definitive experimental designBack to article page
