We estimated the number of germinated seeds by assuming that a tree population with a larger total basal area will produce more germinated seeds, and this proportional relationship remains constant through time:
\(\frac{\text{Number\ of\ germinated\ seeds\ in\ 2007}}{\text{Species\ basal\ area\ in\ 2007}}\)=\(\frac{\text{Number\ of\ germinated\ seeds\ in\ 2023}}{\text{Species\ basal\ area\ in\ 2023}}\)(1).
The number of germinated seeds in 2007 was from a previous study (Huang et al. 2010). This study set up sixty 1 \(m^{2}\)
