Abstract
We conclude that comparisons between datasets that are heterogeneous regarding overstorey age and proportion of development stages, as well as meta-analyses based on such inconsistent studies, can lead to confusing conclusions and improper applications. As a practical implementation, we recommend using overstorey tree density as the most efficient measure for assessment, prediction and managing understorey plant diversity.
