the 11 sites are centered around Jiménez (basis of coordinate)

Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical dry broadleaf forest

Life forms: trees

Sites: 11

Site area: 1.1

Sampling methods: quadrat

Sample size: 333 individuals

Size min: 5

Basal area: 21.27

Sampling comments: "At each site we established a circular plot with an area of 1000 m2"
there appear to be arithmetic errors in the density (ind/ha) figures in table 2, but at least the total of 302.67 appears to be correct; I have simply multiplied the figures by 1.1 and rounded
