135 study plots in temperate forests were surveyed six times each for vegetation, light conditions, and soil properties. The research by Jan Helbach from the University of Freiburg tested the heterogeneity-diversity hypothesis, finding that increased light heterogeneity from complex canopies predicts greater understory plant species richness. Standard deviations of measured parameters were calculated to quantify resource heterogeneity.
