Survey results are not yet complete for the 2005 survey

These diagrams show the detailed baseline distributions of topography (ground height relative to center of plot), abundance (density in counts/m²), and size (cm) within each of the surveyed plots. Note that the values have been averaged across the samples measured by using a variable spaced grid [1]. Gaps are present because of randomized sampling. Each plot shows contour lines representing the topography of the site. A map showing the location of the site is also shown in the diagrams.
