A QUANTITATIVE DESCRIPTION OF VEGETATION ON TWO SITES IN THE RAIN FOREST OF PUERTO RICO.

Abstract

Quantitative structural data on two forest sites, each 60 m in diameter, were collected at El Verde, Puerto Rico. From the data, detailed maps were drawn of the tree stems, boulders, stumps, and slash. Other vegetation data, both structural and taxonomic, were collected and are available for the sampled areas. Structural diagrams symbolizing the forests, and a discussion of the WES technique for drawing them, are included. (Author)
