Methods
Life forms: trees
Sites: 20
Site area: 0.2
Sampling methods: quadrat
Sample size: 671 individuals
Seasons: dry
Size min: 10
Basal area: 382.64
Sampling comments: 10 x 10 m quadrats supposedly totalling an area of 2000 m2
the authors seem very sure of the area, but both the stem count and especially the basal area (382.64 m2) are extremely high for 0.2 ha, so I am assuming that a catastrophic error has been made and that the basal area is actually per ha instead of a total in m2
