Methods
Life forms: trees
Sampling methods: belt transect
Sample size: 208
Years: 1992, 1993

Sampling comments: "four transects were sampled from a 2 ha area in the form of four 500 m long and 10 m wide linear transects... Each transect was a continuum of five plots" (apparently meaning contiguous plots)
extraordinarily low basal area figure appears to be correctly computed
