Geography
Country: Gabon
Coordinate: 0° 10' S, 11° 35' E
Basis of coordinate: 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)
Climate and habitat
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 rainfall in July and August constitutes a "major dry season", which is a feature of the annual cycle, although the timing of its 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)

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: 5000.000
Site width: 1.000
Sampling methods: quadrat
Sample size: 1361
Years: 1989-1991
Minimum size: 10.0cm dbh
Basal area: total is 21.5062
Sampling comments: basal area for the top 10 species is 174.2 per 5 ha and this makes up 81% of the total; sites are 0.5 ha, so the total is divided by 10
