Table IV
Distribution of the sampled plots by forest structure and composition and compared with France’s national surface percentage and χ2 test results. The main structure type in the sampling is high forest and the main composition type is broadleaved. The structure and composition distributions of the sampling are statistically similar to France’s distribution.
