The model is the same as the modelling framework, but we want to establish a connection between the trajectory of forest structure, as represented by basal area, and forest diversity, as represented by genus diversity.
Equilibirum
Equilibrium model using control and pre-logging inventories to inform \(\theta\) prior of the recovery trajectory:
\[
\begin{align}
BA \sim \mathcal N (\mu_{BA,site}+\delta_{BA,plot}, \sigma_{BA})\\
\delta_{BA,plot} \sim \mathcal N(0,\sigma_{BA,plot}) \\
y \sim \mathcal N (\mu_{site}+\delta_{plot}, \sigma)\\
\delta_{plot} \sim \mathcal N(0,\sigma_{plot})
\end{align}
\]
Posteriors of the parameter gamma representing basal are disturbance intensity effect on genus diversity short term increase with plot areas in label.
