Coordinate basis: stated in text
Geography comments: "7 km south-west of Benin City"
Environment
Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest
Protection: forest reserve
Substrate: ground surface
WMT: 28.8
CMT: 24.9
MAP: 1800.0
Habitat comments: "moist lowland rain forest"
monthly CMT/WMT data reported for the study period are missing a month but CMT and WMT seem pretty clear
MAP is based on Atedhor et al. (2011) and is an interpolated value for 1983
"An artificial plantation" is present in the forest, so it is not clear how much is primary
