Watson et al. (2015) compiled ground-measured data from approximately half a million forest inventory plots across the United States, Alaska, and northeastern China to map tree species richness, forest stocking, and productivity.
The secondary objective was to synthesize these ground-measured data in mapping tree species richness, forest stocking, and productivity over all types of temperate forests across the United States.
We compiled ground-measured data from approx. one half million forest inventory sample plots across the contiguous United States, Alaska, and northeastern China to map tree species richness, forest stocking, and productivity at a continental scale.

In general, there was a marked dissimilarity with regard to species richness of forest versus non-forest sites.
In some tropical regions, following the abandonment of agriculture and pastures, secondary forests can recover plant species richness and forest structure (e.g. canopy cover, biomass); however, the importance of these secondary forests for fauna is not clear.
Forest habitat degradation was associated with overall lower species richness, whereas forest specialists were more species-rich in increasingly wider corridors.
Differences between the two types of forests arose when comparing the relationship between richness and forest patch size.
Moreover, anuran species richness in forest habitats declined as proximity to the forest-plantation interface increased, and as canopy density decreased.
Second, the importance of patch-area effects varied between species groups and among landscapes as expected by the proposed conceptual model, with no patch-area effect on generalist species (irrespective of landscape context) and a strong and positive effect on the abundance and richness of forest specialist species in the landscape with intermediate forest cover.
While the lack of evidence for a clear patch-area effect on the abundance and richness of forest specialist species in the most forested landscape agrees with Andrén's fragmentation threshold [24], [25], our finding of an analogous situation in the most heavily deforested landscape is novel.
And neither is he attempting to put them all together in a soup-like fusion: instead, he's allowing the different worlds of Brazil - its different peoples, its wildly divergent landscapes, its unknowable richness of forest, of animal and plant life - to coexist alongside and on top of one another, sometimes in harmony, but often in conflict and irresolution, too.
