Soil CO2 flux Soil CO2 flux Soil CO2 flux is measured monthly using a Licor survey Smart Chamber over soil collars placed on the soil surface.
Plots 1-6 Coarse woody debris CO2 flux Plots 1-6 Coarse woody debris CO2 flux Pieces of wood are placed inside soil collars that are dressed in polythene bags; CO2 flux is measured using a Licor Smart Chamber. Measurements are made one day after collecting (field conditions); and at 25, 15 and 5 degrees C after acclimation at each temperature during 48 h.
Permanent plot coarse woody debris Permanent plot coarse woody debris Coarse woody debris standing crop is being estimated in six 0.6-ha plots, following Marthews et al. (2014).

Permanent plot tree inventory Permanent plot tree inventory Five 0.6 ha (100 m x 60 m) plots in native montane forest stands and one in Pinus taeda plantation were established in Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordao in 2003. The protocols followed the GEM manual (Marthews et al. 2014), with modifications. The measures of the plots are on ground measures and are not corrected for slope. Slope measurements were made posterior to calculate projected plot area. All trees were, enumerated, tagged and their DBH (> 10 cm) measured; trees with a DBH >5cm and > 10 cm were measured in two sublots (20 m x 20 m) per plot.

LifePlan plot soil moisture data LifePlan plot soil moisture data Slope orientation and slope angle result in differences in the quantity of solar radiation received by the land surface at clear skies. The differences in the energy received, in turn, impact evapotranspiration and soil plant available water. To scope the degree of differences in surface root zone moisture availability, three soil moisture and temperature sensors (TMS-4) were placed from highest to lowest elevation along a steep slope within the Lifeplan plot (mixed broadleaf - conifer montane rain forest). In addition, at the base of the slope, three Decagon EC 10 HS sensors, connected to a Decagon Em5b logger were installed in at 25, 50 and 100 cm depths to supply soil moisture data against modelled water availability values. TMS-4 sensors inserted perpendicular to the soil surface along a slope of ca. 45 deg. for continuous logging of soil moisture at 10 cm depth; temperature at -6 cm, 2 cm and 15 cm above the soil surface are also recorded at 15-min interval.
One set of three Decagon EC 10 HS sensors, connected to a Decagon Em5b logger, installed at 25, 50 and 100 cm depths at the foot of the slope. Removed after equipment failure.
LifePlan plot soil temperature data LifePlan plot soil temperature data Slope orientation and slope angle result in differences in the quantity of solar radiation received by the land surface at clear skies. The differences in the energy received, in turn, impact temperature and cause notable differences between south- and north-facing slopes. To scope the degree of differences in surface root zone temperature, three soil moisture and temperature sensors (TMS-4) were placed along a south-facing steep slope (ca. 45 deg.) within the LifePlan plot (mixed broadleaf - conifer montane rain forest) to supply soil and near soil surface temperature data to contrast with data on north-facing slopes. TMS-4 sensors inserted perpendicular to the soil surface along a slope of ca. 45 deg. for continuous logging of temperature at -6 cm, 2 cm and 15 cm above the soil surface are also recorded at an interval of 15 min.

Lifeplan camera data Lifeplan camera data The LifePlan project was established to make a worldwide inventory of biodiversity (soil fungi; airborne spores and pollen, flying arthropods, birds, bats, and mammals), using standardised protocols in natural and anthropogenically modified (urban) environments. To represent the Atlantic forest domain, a ca. 1 ha sampling plot was established in a mixed broadleaved - coniferous evergreen montane rain forest in November 2021 in the 'Parque Estadual de Campos do Jordão', Brazil within the scope of the LifePlan project. The sampling plot has five camera traps placed, one near the centre of the plot and one at each corner.
The camera traps are motion triggered day and night, using a passive infrared sensor and are set to operate continuously. The images are recorded on SD cards and data are collected every 7 days and transferred onto a HD, and later to the LifePlan server. The collection period is one complete calendar year at a time (2022, 2024). In alternate years (2023, 2025) data collection is made on an urban property.
