we have, in some of our research plots, more species of trees than the whole of north america or the whole of europe. that's a phenomenal number of species -- 1,000 species or 1,200 species in one plot. narrator: at 17 forest-dics plots throughout latin america, africa, and asia, davies' project, in collaboration with the arnold arboretum of harvard university, maintains an active database of more than 3 million trees of 6,000 species. dr. davies: this is a huge data set, which no one else in the world is doing this kind of research. and the idea of doing it right across the whole world is that then we'll be able to come to some generalizations about what's happening to tropical rainforests. narrator: by statistical analysis of a large number of individuals over a long period of time, the team can determine the dynamics of forest growth. dr. davies: what we do is we monitor them every five years. we go and remeasure all the trees. the idea is to try to work out, for hundreds and hundreds of species, their population biology -- that is, the rates with which they grow, the ratethey die

america. >> reporter: when the japanese tsunami wiped out entire villages last year, four to eight million tons of debris swept into the pacific. from automobiles to fishing boats, the ocean carried it away. much of it sang close to shore. but oceanographers estimate one to two million tons is still floating. a computer generated model shows how the debris has now spread, past midway island, across an ever wider section of the pacific, as currents carry it toward hawaii and the west coast of north america. oceanographer nicholas mallos has been tracking its movement. >> it's not a floating mass of trash or debris, i should say, but rather it is dispersed over a large region of the pacific ocean. >> reporter: mallos says the floating remnants of the tsunami are so dispersed it's hard to distinguish from other floating trash. it's estimated that some of the debris could show up in the hawaiian coast early next year. and by 2014 could reach the main land, most likely washington, oregon and alaska
