Moments of saturation diversities for North-Central European beech forests on eutrophic loam soils (Melico Fagetum) predicted by the model (9) from samples of different sample area A. The error bars represent the standard deviations obtained from each 16, 8, 6, 4, and 2 independent samples of the respective sample area A.
