Abstract

Pedologic, geologic, and vegetation taxonomy and structure data were collected from tabonuco forests in Dominica and Puerto Rico to characterize rain forests in the mountains of Caribbean islands. The three Dominica sites were in matured virgin forests; the four Puerto Rico sites were in forests that had been selectively cut.
