TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated changes in species abundance and richness, stand structure, and species responses to habitat characteristics including disturbance intensity, in 28 permanent sample plots (PSP) covering a total area of about 6.2 hectares of subtropical rainforests in north-east New South Wales, Australia.

How much physiology is needed in forest gap models for simulating long-term vegetation response to global change? Introduction
TL;DR: A review of gap models is presented in the accompanying paper by Bugmann et al. as discussed by the authors, where they are used to simulate vegetation dynamics in a relatively small area (i.e., 1-10 ha).
