The importance of grain and cut-off size in shaping tree beta diversity along an elevational gradient in the northwest of Colombia

Forest Ecosystems

Table 1 Description and location of the 15 1-ha permanent plots in the northwest of Colombia. Latitude (North) and Longitude (West) are presented in geographical coordinates (degrees). N: total number of individuals. S: species richness. The columns of 0.16-ha contain the information about N (number of individuals) and S (species number) by different DBH cut-off size in the 40 m × 40 m subplot inside the plot. The column of 1-ha has information about N and S for the large trees in the whole plot
