Sampling comments: Although authors report the numer of wooded species for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60cm DBH (see Table 1, p. 395), here only those bigger than 5 cm DMH are included.
JA: total basal area down to 1 cm dbh is 47.3 m2/ha and 97% of that applies to the 10 cm+ dbh class, but no figure is given for the 5 cm+ dbh class
