Sampling comments: "The study area is stratified into three (3) sites... In each of the strata (site), transects of 1000m length were laid. Sample plots of 40m x 40m in size were established in alternate position along each transect at 40m interval; summing up to 4 plots per 1000m transect and a total of 12 plots in the study area... A total of one hundred and seventy four (174) trees were counted in the study area" and this is the total of counts in the table, although the column is labelled "N/ha"
