The project team will establish the 20 ha FDP and will have a research focus on secondary forest regeneration and forest dynamics. Once the site is set up, the FDP will open to local or international researchers as an outdoor "laboratory" for other forestry or climate change related research projects. These may include:

	Carbon sink in tropical forests
	Changing forest diversity
	Human impacts on forest ecosystems
	Distribution of tree species
	Species discovery

Since the Hong Kong FDP is set up using the standard protocol of the FDP worldwide network, data generated in Hong Kong could be used with those in other FDPs in the region, e.g. Mainland China and Taiwan for regional synthesis.

We welcome research collaborations. Please contact us for further discussion.
