Coordinate basis: stated in text

Geography comments: coordinate and altitude range of 100 to 200 m for the reserve are based on Voysey et al. (1999, Journal of Tropical Ecology)

Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Protection: national/state park

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: selective logging

WMT: 28.0

CMT: 23.6

MAP: 1532.0

Habitat comments: "Consistently low rainfallinJulyandAugustconstitutes a"majordry season", which i s a feature of the annual cycle, although the timing of i t s onset and its duration varies between years; December to February are generally relatively dry months, but no distinct second dry season can be defined" (p. 11)
Between 1 and 2 ha were logged by SOFORGA Logging Consecion 3-5 years before the study
climate data are for the reserve and are from Tutin et al. (1991, Journal of Tropical Ecology)

Methods
Life forms: trees

Sites: 1

Site length: 5000

Site width: 1

Sampling methods: line transect

Sample size: 1527 individuals

Years: 1989-1991

Size min: 10

Basal area: 30.1846

Sampling comments: basal area for the top 10 species is 196.2 per 5 ha and this makes up 65% of the total; sites are 0.5 ha, so the total is divided by 10
