Data give the numbers of trees at least 10 cm in
diameter at breast height (1.3 m above the ground) in each one hectare
square of forest. Within each one hectare square, all individuals of
all species were tallied and are recorded in this table. The data frame contains only the Barro Colorado Island subset of the
original data.
