Methods
Life forms: trees
Sites: 131
Site area: 6.53
Sampling methods: line transect
Sample size: 3013 individuals
Years: 2002
Size min: 10
Sampling comments: "All data were collected during the same period (August–October 2002). Along a transect, perpendicular lines were laid every 300 m. Along each perpendicular line, data were collected at every 75 m"
"Data was collected from 591 plots, 266 of which had an area of 400 m2 and 326 with an area of 500 m2" but these figures apply to the entire study; minimum number in this case is 131 based on the 500 m2 figure
